About the instructor - Don Miller
My name is Don Miller, and I’ve been passionately involved in acting and improvisation since 2000. After training in the Actor’s Training Program at Solano Community College, I co-founded and performed with the improv comedy troupe The Rats in the Alley for ten years. As a founding member of ComedySportz Sacramento, I performed in competitive, sports-themed improv shows. I’ve trained with instructors from The Second City and Steppenwolf Theatre through the CSU Summer Arts program, where I developed a strong interest in long-form improv. I also performed at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, blending scripted announcements with spontaneous improvisation, particularly in a pirate-themed sea lion show. Currently, I entertain and improvise as a town constable at the Northern California Renaissance Faire. With extensive experience and a deep love for improv, I look forward to sharing my skills and enthusiasm in an improvisation class.
