Ciera is interested in ghosts, as a director, she’s fascinated by what happens when we confront the things that haunt us and what happens to the land, our families, and our souls when we don’t. I find myself drawn to stories about the American West, generational curses, the black diaspora, injustice, the passage of time, womanhood, and the feeling of ‘otherness’. Ultimately, she wants to create work onstage that calls audiences to confront the ghosts they are haunted by. 

She is also the miller 1/2 of the theatrical duo miller & harlow. The pair are 2023 Jonathan Larson Grant Honorable Mentions, EdFringers and were co writers on The Oyster Radio Hour hosted by Susan Sarandon, with Amber Iman and Amber Gray as vocalists. She is currently the Associate Director for the Hadestown National Tour, directed by Keenan Tyler Oliphant.

In rehearsal and in life she makes it a priority to be present, curious, and kind.

You can usually find her loitering at her local bookstore, co-working with her fiercely fantastic friends, or out for a swim.
