Savannah Maive Edwards is a child of the mountains, having been raised in both the Adirondacks and the Blue Ridge. Consequently, she has always had a natural inclination to tell stories. For most of her childhood, Savannah indulged her innate passion for storytelling through writing short stories, plays, and screenplays, which she would coerce her friends to read and costar in (all of which are now hidden deep within the abyss of time). It wasn’t until her family pulled up the stakes and moved to Nelson County, Virginia, that Savannah finally found her way onto the stage and has since refused to get off. Since entering the University of Virginia, Savannah has found her home in the drama department as an actor, writer, and director, and has been involved in many drama department and student theatre productions over the past couple of years. She has also found another home at Live Arts, the community theatre downtown, where she has worked as a camp counselor for the past two summers. Thanks to support from the Miller Arts Scholars, she acquired a third home at Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C., where she spent part of her summer studying acting and working as an education administration intern. Savannah is grateful to have had so many opportunities to cultivate her artistry as a Miller Arts Scholar, and is grateful to be able to explore her role as an artist with each passing day.
