a speaker and activist. 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.
