    Such a moving piece about what it means to be from somewhere. Lewis has created two really complex characters in such a few number of pages. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with these characters. A short play that will get you to lean in from the start.

    Such a beautiful play about belonging to a place. The dialogue was smooth yet direct. Every line mattered - nothing extraneous - without feeling jarring and abrupt. Loved the the little bit of magic. Transported me back to Louisiana. Really, such a lovely piece.

    Louisiana Shoal is a beautiful play, beginning to end. The magic of a mysterious swamp glows in colors from toxic chemicals and the magic of the universe. This magic expands and pulls us in to offer us hope, the other edge of the unknown, if we can stand to embrace it. Wonderful work!

    This is an apocalyptic play, laced with hope, beautifully told, with a message that only science and courage will deliver us from the twin scourges of environmental degradation and global warming.

    Dark. Dystopian. And all to relevent and fitting for our times. Mildred Inez Lewis' "Louisiana Shoal" is a parable on choices made in the extreme. Yes, the ending is tragic due to the utter inevitability of it all. I missed seeing this piece in performance. Yet I, at least, had the good fortune to have read the play. Well done, Mildred!

    In one beautifully uttered line, Mildred Inez Lewis crystalizes the weight and significance of her play. "In the time it took to smoke a pipe." Cities and towns are leveled. Homes are destroyed. Families separated. Hearts broken. And yet, the message of Louisiana Shoal is far greater...far more hopeful. In the time it took to smoke a pipe, HEROES emerge. The earth fights back! Fish breathe air, and share it. In the time it took to smoke a pipe, Mildred Inez Lewis will introduce you to a world-our world-in peril and beg you to fight. What will you do?
