Jeff Miller and his wife, Beth, live in Barnwell. They raised their two children, Kevin and Ashley, here. Jeff retired from Barnwell County District #45 in 2022 and, inexplicably, went right back to work for them, part-time. He was a 2-time Teacher of the Year, 4-time Region Coach of the Year (Tennis) and was selected to coach the South Team in the North/South Tennis Classic. After teaching honors and regular high school Algebra, Geometry, Algebra II, and Calculus--while coaching for 25 years--Jeff is now "semi-retired" but finds himself busier than ever as he is the sportswriter for The People-Sentinel Newspaper.
Jeff's Circle Theatre credits include Clown Car, SPAM-A-LOT, The Sound of Music, and Second Samuel. Jeff was on the big screen as an extra in Clint Eastwood’s The Mule and was in The Program with James Caan, Craig Sheffer, and Halle Berry. Jeff followed Beth (Producer/Director/Actor) and Ashley (Actor) to Circle Theatre. In addition to acting, Jeff served on the Circle Theatre board and was a sponsor of the Junior Board. Jeff and Beth have two beautiful granddaughters, Meredith and Hannah, who live in Irmo, SC with their Mommy, Danielle, and Daddy, Kevin. |
Brenda Chorn, a West Virginia gal, met Michael, a California guy, and they got married. They moved to the west coast, only to be there 3 1/2 years. They chose South Carolina as their next stop in 2005. Almost 3 years ago, they made their last stop in Barnwell as their forever home! They've lived here happily ever since.
Brenda is new to Circle Theatre. She decided to come audition for Death and Taxes not really expecting to be cast as she was in one play in high school (which she says was a long time ago, but we don't believe her). She's had a great time rehearsing for this show as laughter was never far off!
Brenda and Michael have two lovely daughters, a beautiful granddaughter, and a handsome grandson.

Director's Notes
I want to start by thanking the cast and crew for all of their hard work and dedication over the last few months. It was no small task to learn all of their lines and become their characters. It is my hope that all that walk through the doors and come to see this show leave having been entertained and wanting to come back to see the next production we present at Circle Theatre. Michael
Coming soon!
