Anna Miles

is a director specializing in plays and stories that center women’s voices, interrogate systems of power, and invite audiences into visceral, immediate, and transformative live experiences.

She creates bold, visually dynamic theater that reimagines and challenges tradition and mythology through heightened theatricality and innovative ensemble-driven storytelling.

Her years of experience working in the theater span a myriad of styles, spaces and genres, including contemporary, classical, devised, immersive, and musical theater, ranging from the experimental avant-garde to modern comedy in spaces as varied as tiny black boxes, historical Opera Houses, abandoned attics, and public parks. She is particularly passionate about using performance to activate unexpected and public spaces as well as the emerging frontier of digital theater and live digital integration.

Her recent work includes assistant directing Coriolanus at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and directing an award-winning production of In the Green by Grace McLean (The Wayward Artist), The Taming by Lauren Gunderson (Little Fish Theatre), A Sad Tale's Best for Winter, her feminist adaptation of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, with Noise Now at A Noise Within Theatre, and several large-scale productions in the Sacramento region including Our Town, Into the Woods and Puffs.
