If you’ve been to a King’s Players melodrama in the last eight years, you’ve seen Malachi Miller.
He started performing at age 10, filling in at the last minute. Before that, he helped his parents Bryan and Amy backstage, building sets and doing anything else that needed to be done.
When he reached high school, his on-stage roles expanded. And this year, his role expanded even more. Miller is a senior this year and wrote this year’s show, “Adrift in the Wicked City, or … the Miser’s Secret.”
Read more about Miller in the March 12 Independent.
