In Search of Wild Trilliums is a mem ory play spanning the years between 1876 through 1900. It tells the story of Mira Lloyd Dock and her rise to prominence as RUNNING OUT OF TIME?

A self-taught botanist and nature photographer, Mira is credited with being the catalyst for the City Beautiful Movement in Harrisburg. In 1901, she became the first woman to serve on the state Forestry Commission. Although the one-act play relies on historical fact to fasten down the story, it also lifts off on a flight of fancy to imag ine the psyche of a woman struggling to grow in the dry and unyielding terrain of Victorian society. Only through a deep and mystical connection with Nature—mother, lover, friend—does Mira find sustenance and courage to become the woman she was meant to be. Written with the support of two state partnership grants, In Search of Wild Trilliums premiered last summer at the Little Theatre of Mechanicsburg.
