A graduate of the University of Iowa with a bachelor’s degree in theatre arts, Miriam is a member of the award-winning film/theatre production company Two Steps to the Left Productions. She directed and starred in George, a play that was part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival 2019 and winner of the Encore Producer’s Award.

Katy Merriman, Playhouse artistic director, says, “I am excited to start a script reading series at The Playhouse as it will give us a fun and relaxed environment in which to hear new stories from new perspectives. Miriam is a talented and welcoming artist, and she has already proven time and again that she can bring people together to learn from each other and also just enjoy their time together. This series will be something fun to look forward to when we’re tucked away in our homes this winter. Grab a cup of tea or cocoa, get cozy, and listen to a script you probably haven’t heard before, read by both new and familiar voices. We need fun and enlightenment, and this will be both!”
