Grinnell Greenroom 2026

---

Karie Miller (she/they) is a theatre kid all grown up. Having participated in community theatre since age 12, Karie is always thrilled to share the magic of theatre and camp! She camper-ed in Central Kentucky with the Girl Scouts for several years, and as an adult worked as the Creative Arts counselor with CampfireUSA on the banks of Kenai Lake in Cooper’s Landing, Alaska for four years. Working with kids of all ages is a joyful and crucial part of how and why she does what she does. When not wearing her campfuntime hat, Karie is an interdisciplinary artist, scholar, and educator specializing in belonging, and the content, behavior, and containers that promote it, primarily through acts of care, play, and hospitality in the theatre. Prior to Grinnell, she performed and directed in Chicago IL as an ensemble member with Sideshow Theatre Company, specializing in new work. Credits include The Burden of Not Having a Tail, Idomeneus, and Everything Freezes.  She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa. MFA: University of Virginia, PhD: Ohio State University. http://www.kariemiller.com

 Libby Albright's middle name is "Theatre Camp." Not really, but it should be. This August, Libby (she/her) will spend her fourth summer at Grinnell Greenroom, but her first summer as Grinnell School of Music's Summer Intern.  Libby's early days as a Greenroom counselor inspired her to channel her musical and theatrical passions into creating and directing a musical theatre camp in her hometown of Tama, Iowa and last summer, she worked as a Teaching Intern at Des Moines Performing Arts' Musical Theatre Camp program.  When not in theatre camp mode, Libby is singing, acting, and student-ing all over the Grinnell College campus. She is a second year Music major concentrating in Education Studies. 

Having written a musical, directed plays, and memorized every word of most Original Broadway Cast albums she's come across, Libby is confident that theatre will forever be part of her life. While she adores spending time on the stage, the true joy of performing, for her, comes from sharing music and theatre with children and getting to watch them unabashedly explore such an adventurous craft.
