The Miss B Show and Dry Clean Only! Cast

Miss B is originally from Heidellottenburg. She doesn’t know when she was born but grew up in a terrible orphanage under Miss Helga’s care (she was very mean). She was raised by a ski instructor who tragically died. Despite her challenging upbringing, she continues to spin positive and find joy in every playful moment. She loves all animals, peopleand candy, except for malt balls but harbors no ill will towards those people who love malt balls. She loves each and every one of you and hopes you will find one playful moment of joy tonight with new friends!

Jeremy Duchin is downright ecstatic to revive his role in Miss B. Previous to show, his only credits are from high school musicals (Fiddler on the Roof, Little Mermaid Jr., Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Little Women, Laramie Project). It was during those formative years where he gained a reputation for ignoring the script and making up his own lines—something we now call "improvising" but his director called "a problem." Today, he mostly focuses his creative time as a musical improvisor on teams including Revolusical, Figaroo II, Spaghetti Confetti, and Rodgers & Hammertime. Beginning under the auspices of Leslie Collins in 2019, he is now a well-regarded teacher of musical improv at Stomping Ground, where he takes great joy in shaping the minds of new improvisers. Jeremy would like to thank his high school director Heather Biddle and his family for supporting his ridiculousness.
