  • Mildred Inez Lewis: OTP

    Beautifully written teen girls, Ceci and Michelle stick with you. It also evokes an Internet period that is fast receding writing fan fiction during Tumblr's ascendancy. Unlike many plays about the digital era, the language is rich, evocative and poetic without breaking the reality of the story.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: BloodSuckingLeech

    Beautifully done and very timely. Terrific roles for women over thirty, always a consideration.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: I'm Gonna Need You to Log off for Me

    Don't miss the delightful language play in this piece. "quandaries in your portfolio that I would be remiss if I did not address." Great juxtaposition with the breaking news topic. There's also the pathos of a mediocre artist trying to make a go of it by hook or crook. Evidently that's not limited to us humans. Wonderful, sharp piece.

    This play is an evergreen. It is a terrifically fun ride. Greg and Kristi are keepers.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: The Ones Who Adapt

    What a terrific play. Layers and nuances not often seen in a ten minute piece. It will make you think about the assumptions we have and distinctions we make between aliens and humans in so many contexts.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: Eternal Hellfire and Damnation: A Love Story

    This piece updates a myth and allows you to see nuances and complications you might easily have overlooked in school. It's also a word fest that is an absolute delight for the ear.

    Plus, it's hilarious.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: You Have Earned Bonus Stars

    What a rich, vibrant world, artfully realized. This play doesn't just take on the "issue" of workplace violence, although there is nothing wrong with that. It searches our souls at work where so much of life happens.

    From the opening that captures the chaos of the aftermath to the powerful ending focused on Danielle, there are many well earned surprises. We rocket through the absurd to the surreal to the theater of cruelty. When Ed ends an encomium to the victims with "Danielle, who is, of course, a whore." I almost leapt out of my chair. Excellent stuff.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: Thank You, Porcupine

    What a powerful and unique piece of work. It allows its female characters to delve into darkness without pulling any punches.

    Delightful. This is an original play.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: Madeleines

    Madeleines proves that writing can be warm and incisive at the same time. Lovely to listen to.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: 38 Cookies, 39 Reasons [a monologue]

    Empathy and craft meet in this wonderful. truthful play. It speaks to something larger than eating disorders. It has something to say about the American soul.
