In Lay of the Land, Miller takes on the fight for marriage equality, charting the reality of gay folks’ being perpetually on trial, on the ballot, and on the menu! The performance is a fiercely funny and emboldening exploration of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered identity lived out loud.

Tim Miller’s work explores the artistic, spiritual and political topography of his identity as a gay man. Hailed for his humor and passion, Miller has performed all over North America, Australia and Europe, in such prestigious venues as Yale Repertory Theatre, the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London), the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis) and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He is the author of the books Shirts & Skin, Body Blows, and 1001 Beds (which won the 2007 Lambda Literary Award for Best Book in Drama/Theater). His solo theater works have been published in the play collections O Solo Homo and Sharing the Delirium. Miller has taught performance at UCLA, NYU, the School of Theology at Claremont, and universities all over the United States. He is a co-founder of two of the most influential performance spaces in the United States: Performance Space 122 on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica.
