Mia presented by Her Story Theater at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...The performance interweaves the fictitious story of a missing young girl named Mia (Jamise Wright) with real-life cases and statistics, emphasizing the urgency behind the issue. The two-person cast tells the story in fragments, and each short scene uses various mediums, such as dance, song, and photographs, to explore and untangle important questions and uncomfortable truths."

"...Mary Bonnett’s heart-wrenching production “MIA: Where Have All the Young Girls Gone?” is a fresh and imaginative approach to the subject of teenage girls who have suddenly gone missing. The storyline is almost stream-of-consciousness, yet peppered throughout with anecdotes and statistics about women and girls who have vanished into thin air in today’s United States. Bonnett, using only two actors, personalizes the numbers with reference to a fifteen-year-old fictionalized teenager, aptly named Mia, abbreviated for “Missing in Action.”"

"...Mary Bonnett’s world premiere play, MIA “WHERE HAVE ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS GONE?” opened at Greenhouse Theater Center March 12, 2023 . It is compelling and tells a story that a viewer will not quickly forget. Statistics about women reported missing are staggering. In 2020, 268,884 women were reported missing, according to the National Crime Information Center, with nearly 100,000 of those being Black women and girls. It is easy to shut down when faced with these statistics but when MIA “WHERE HAVE ALL THE YOUNG GIRLS GONE?” tells the story of one girl’s experience I was mesmerized, as was the entire audience."
