THE TEAM: Jane Miller

Jane is an actor, singer and composer with a reputation for a dynamic vocal range and powerhouse presence, which garnered her a Dora Mavor Moore nomination for Best Performance in a Musical for “Shaking the Foundations” at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in 1999. Other performing highlights include “Almost There” for Brookstone Theatre, “Body Geometry: The 7th Angel” for The Theatre Centre, and most recently, “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” for Shakespeare in the Rough in Toronto’s beautiful Withrow Park. Jane also produced her own solo tour de force, “Disco Goalie”, which played to sold-out houses at Artword Theatre, Hamilton’s Theatre Aquarius, and the Toronto, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Victoria Fringe Festivals.

Upon graduation from Ryerson Theatre School, Jane co-founded band Wind May Do Damage releasing two independent albums from which Jane’s song “Backseat of the Family Car” was chosen for inclusion on HMV’s “Fresh Blood: Indie Compilation” CD, and her song “Trying” was chosen for Toronto’s “Local Flavour” CD. She has opened for Arlo Guthrie, Ani DiFranco, Jeff Buckley, and Moxy Fruvous. As a composer, she created the a cappella score for Michael Redhill’s “Lake Nora Arms”, which received its premiere at Theatre & Company in 2005, and is currently working on a commission for Smile Theatre. Jane pursues her acting career and coaches singing in downtown Toronto, where she lives with her husband, Richard Peters and their black cat, Sowelu.
