STERNFELD STUDIO // founder & artistic director // independent NYC productions

For Sternfeld Studio’s first production, Miles transformed Camp Pouch’s 143-acre campground into the world of Into The Woods. Audiences gathered around a campfire before journeying into the forest as daylight faded and the story unfolded around them. The production featured newly commissioned acoustic folk orchestrations and was featured in Time Out New York. Miles' other recent New York directing credits include new works like Broken Thread by Diane Davis at the 14th Street Y and Neighbor Play at Stage Time Studios.

CLEVELAND MUSICAL THEATRE // founding artistic director

Sternfeld Studio builds on Miles’s eight years as the founding artistic director of Cleveland Musical Theatre (CMT) – the only Equity musical theatre company in Cleveland devoted to reimagining beloved musicals. There, he spearheaded the redevelopment of Jane Eyre with its original Broadway director, John Caird, and composer, Paul Gordon, and directed the premiere of the resulting chamber version, earning Superior Achievement in Directing from the Cleveland Critics Circle. Other company credits include Into the Woods at Town Hall NYC, Songs for a New World at Radial Park, Aida, Pete(HER)Pan, and The Who’s Tommy, featuring Broadway stars such as Betsy Wolfe, Tony Yazbeck, Liz Callaway, Bonnie Milligan, and Adrienne Warren.
