Influences: Highways is currently under the artistic direction of NEA award-winning playwright, performer, filmmaker, producer, teacher and social activist Leo Garcia and was founded by writer Linda Frye Burnham and performance artist Tim Miller in 1989. In 1992 Linda relinquished her duties as Co-Director leaving Tim as the driving force behind the organization. In the early part of 2000, Miller announced his decision to step down as Artistic Director of Highways to focus on his social activism through his performance work.
