The story and life of Darryl Miller
In June of 2024 I was given a task to put together a few words to announce in a press release that The Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, MI has accepted a sculpture created by Darryl Miller, a 1968 graduate of Charlotte High School. In beginning the process of putting such an article together and gathering information I reached out to Darryl Miller directly, thinking that I would receive the information straight from the sculptor himself. He spoke to me in a humble way as I carried on asking questions. I quickly found myself intrigued with the account of his journey toward becoming a sculptor. I scribbled many notes and ended the conversation saying that I would be in touch with final article for him to proof. I started writing and putting my notes together. This included me not having trust in myself to correctly spell a few names of places, people, an artist that he had mentioned. A few spell checks turned into hours of enjoyable reading and ended up sparking more questions for Darry Miller. I immediately identified that this would not be a simple story about a local museum receiving a local sculptor’s piece of art.
World premiere comedy 'What Springs Forth' draws huge laughs at Purple Rose Theatre
That question, and many others, are asked and answered in “What Springs Forth,” a riotous comedy running through Aug. 31, presented by Chelsea’s Purple Rose Theatre Co. The show follows three middle-aged friends – Robyn, Sallie Ben, and Emma – on a life-changing weekend. What was promised to them as a high-end wellness spa retreat turns out to be a lie that leaves them stranded in a wilderness survival camp. As everything spirals out of control, they learn who they’re meant to be, but watching their frustrations and setbacks along the way makes for a sidesplitting time.
