Senior Member
Miles Garcia
During his time in college, Miles Garcia has tasked himself with far too many extracurriculars—theater being one of them. He has acted in three plays at Amherst (Bad Jews, Circle Mirror Transformation, and The Flick), but his experience performing in and directing plays began in high school. This semester he brings one of his original plays, Workshop, to the stage. Outside of this project you can find him doing improv every Monday night, singing with Route 9, playing drums in various bands, or attempting to make films. If you can’t find him doing any of that, he has probably locked himself in his room to recharge or complete overdue homework.
