David Millbern to star in 'Joseph' at Amish Acres

David Millbem, a Hollywood movie, television and stage star, will return to his hometown of Nappanee to perform in Amish Acres’ Round Bam Theatre productions of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and perennial “Plain and Fancy.” Millbem, who grew up in Nappanee, had his first stage role as a seven-year-old boy in Nappanee Civic Theatre’s production of “Plain and Fancy” in 1967. It was from this childhood experience that Millbem set his career path, which included graduation from Northwestern University’s school of drama. He most recently starred with Stacy Reach and “Baywatch” star Nicole Eggbert in Showtime’s scifi comedy “Amanda and the Alien. ’' David started his film career with Roger Corman, as did Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dem. His television credits include the role of Lance Hirt on ABC’s“General Hospital,” co-star of “The Gariy Shandling Show” and a nomination for outstanding supporting actor in a miniseries for his performance as Paul Soloman on “Ancient Prophecies II.” On stage, he has played Mozart in “Amadeus,” Lovborg in “Hedda Gabler” and Ferdinand in “The Tempest,” and has been on national tour with the cast of “Fame.” At the invitation of Lee Strasberg, Millbem has studied with the Actors’ Studio in New York, and is a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Repertory Group. He has won CINE Golden Eagle and Dramalogue awards, and received Emmy consideration as host of the PBS/KCET membership drive. Against his agent’s wishes, David has cleared his Hollywood calendar to return to his Midwestern roots this summer, crossing the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River in his Jeep to star in the four-week ran of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s world-wide theatrical phenomenon, “Joseph and the Amazing . Technicolor Dreamcoat.” The energetic musical has recently been revived in the Midwest, to much acclaim and popular success, by Donnie Osmond at the Chicago Theatre over the last several years, and recently had an extended ran at the
