It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of friend, supporter, and icon of the Barn Theatre: Lillian Miller.
To say that Lillian was a prolific, dedicated and valued member of the Barn Theatre family would be the understatement of the century. Over her 47 (yes, 47!) seasons of service to The Barn, Lillian was widely considered to be THE go-to producer at the theatre. In the course of those 47 seasons, Lillian served as Producer for an astounding 54 productions and as Lead Costumer for 28 productions (often pulling double duty for both functions). In addition, Lillian served as both a member of our Board of Directors and Board of Trustees, most recently in the position of Trustee Emeritus.
Given the length of her service to the Barn, however, Lillian ironically only ever appeared *on* our stage once: in a March 1980 evening of poetry readings. Why? Because she never wanted the spotlight or applause for herself; she just loved theatre. She loved the Barn, and she loved working with all her many friends and colleagues to make theatre accessible to people.
And while she never sought out the spotlight, Lillian's contributions were always noticed and so very much appreciated. She was a recipient of virtually every Service Award that the Barn bestows: The Zach Morfogen Award (for contributions to the theatre above and beyond the call of duty); The Frank & Marge Gaffney Award (for backstage contributions); The Alice Mahler Award (for mentoring); and in 2016, Lillian was the very first recipient of The Jay Mills Award (for volunteerism to the Barn). In fact, the only Barn Service Award that Lillian did not receive was the Jerry Schreiber Youth Award (a fact that we think would have made her give her signature chuckle!).

Thank you for your friendship and for all your wonderful contributions to the Barn, Lillian. Our hearts go out to your beloved husband Don, to your children (Chris, Jen and Karyn), to your family, and to all your many friends who will miss your warmth and kindness, your generosity, your spirit, your sense of humor, your dedication... and your stylish penchant for scarves.
We will leave the light on for you, dear friend.
