community and making art that can change the world. Miller expresses the organization’s shared philosophy in this way: “People join our vision because they believe in the mission we are after. That’s what attracts other artists to work with us—so they can grow. The vision and the clarity of the mission is why people are coming on board—because they want to be a part of it.” Miller and her husband left New York and moved to Glen Ellen to work for TTC year-round. They create the shows and do a lot of outreach projects, while others do the arrangements and orchestrations; they still don’t have all the staff they need. In addition to performances, TTC does outreach to many nonprofit organizations for children, teens and seniors. This summer they are beginning a year-long partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which is being funded by the Rotary Club of Sonoma Valley, a Transcendence Kids Camp, and performing for seniors at memory care facilities in Sonoma County. They also sponsor open mic nights, and have been the recipient of foundation grants, and individual and bank sponsors. The next production of Broadway Under the Stars is slated for June 16th, and runs through September 10th. And as one who has witnessed the excitement and thrill of these young people bringing the Best of Broadway to the stage, it is a not- to-be missed experience. “It’s been a 10-year journey of transcendence—going after and believing in dreams,” says Miller enthusiastically, adding that the entire effort has been a “non-stop wonderful adventure.” For more information, visit transcendencetheatre.org.
