Miki Bone has worked in professional and educational theatre for over 34 years. Miki served as Managing Director of Contemporary Theatre of Dallas until its closure in 2016 following the deaths of Brian Loncar, and his daughter Grace. As a monument to the founders Brian and Sue Loncar, and the thousands of performing artists who worked at CTD over the years, we keep the website alive to honor their memories and their body of work.
