Bother performances are at 7:30 p.m. in the Lied Center's Johnny Carson Theater. "Glory Box" is a funny, sexy, and charged exploration of Miller's journeys through the challenge of love, gay marriage, and the struggle for immigration rights for gay people and their partners. From Miller's hilarious grade school playground battles over wanting to marry another boy to the harrowing travails of being in a bi-national relationship with his Australian lover, "Glory Box" leads the audience on a journey into the complexity of the human heart. "Glory Box," a term that Australians use for "hope chest," offers an alternative site for the placing of memories, hopes, and dreams of gay people's potential for love. "Us" is a fast, funny and furious romp through Miller's love affair with Broadway musicals to an exploration of gay marriage and the issues gay men and women face in the United States. Miller's performances have been presented all over North America and Europe. Since 1990, Miller has taught performance in the theater department at UCLA and the dance program at Cal State Los Angeles. He is a co-founder of the performance spaces Performance Space 122 on Manhattan's Lower East Side and Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica, Calif.
