“I am so honored to be given the opportunity to lead this organization, which has been a vital part of the cabaret community for 40 years. I am excited to carry on the legacy and enormous contributions of past MAC presidents, including immediate past president Amy Wolk, and before her, now Artistic Director and CEO of Singnasium, Lennie Watts,” said Miller. “I am grateful to the hard-working members of the MAC Board for their faith in me and for the contributions they all make on a daily basis to run this organization. Following a highly successful MAC Awards show this past season, and very well-received MAC to School weekend that just concluded, I am looking forward to steering MAC into its next decade of service to our community, and creating new opportunities for our members to learn, gather, perform, and be recognized by their peers in this amazing community that so many have built over these past years.”
