  • Mildred Inez Lewis: ... IN REFRIGERATORS

    Powerful revenge piece with elements of wit and genre bending.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: Icebox Placenta (a monologue for women)

    The character's inability to let go of the placenta or bury it, after all there are many, many parks in NYC. So touching. Love the way it shesd light on how we relate to our bodies and birth. Lovely.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: You Have Earned Bonus Stars

    Danielle's quest is deeply engaging and hits all the right notes. This is not a dark comedy that exploits its subject. It ennobles the characters and its audience. Simply amazing writing and more than that compassion for humanity and its plights.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: ME DIRECT

    I started laughing from the title page - "as told by Big Foot." Smart, funny writing, but a concept right up there with Grendel, the retelling of the Beowulf's story from the monster's point of view.

    When Lonny says, "Me not see that. "Me not read script." I howled with laughter, then memories hit and I said "ouch", then I laughed again.

    Recommend highly!

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: For Richard, for Poorer

    What a lovely ride. You're not a militant vegetarian. The wondrous, yet clueless Aunt Betty. Wedding jitters and fun wrapped around deep feeling and commitment. Richard and Eddie are going to make it.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: DATING & MATING IN MODERN TIMES

    What a fun, lively group of women are represented in these monologues. Really touched by Ripper Girl who is sharp and funny, but still tender. Deals with stereotypes like the beauty queen - Miss Georgia Peach, but deconstructs them to reveal heart and intelligence. Forces us to abandon our own blind spots without losing a sense of humor.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: The Apology

    Love the sharply observed behavior here. The dance they do at the beginning before they get down to the real issues is wonderful. Also true to life, the way we can remember every detail of a closely held slight even years later. The end is sad, but totally justified.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: The Night Witches

    Nina and Vera are very fresh ways of imagining female characters. This couldn't be more relevant because of everything we living through. It is also beautifully and lyrically written.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: the day we were born

    This poetry and passion of this play are extraordinary. It is rare for a piece to have this kind of power in visual and literary terms.

    Amazing, visceral moments: Qi watching a cigarette burn his fingers, the whale knife quivering to a stop.

    What a special, special piece.

  • Mildred Inez Lewis: Inez Cupcakes Starring in: "Math Problems"

    Utterly charming. One of those rare plays that really captures the voice of children.

    Inez learns a few life lessons. but you'll have so much fun that you won't even notice you're being taught.

    Super produceable.
