How Minis Gone Wild! came to be; New Light Theatre’s Resident Playwright, Artist and Director, Wendy White envisioned a new type of theatre production featuring mini-plays.  Wendy often paints in her studio, living by her motto ‘painting a mini a day keeps the doctor away.’ Her initial concept of matching a mini-painting with a mini-play gained momentum and she invited other talented South Florida playwrights to join her; and voila ‘Minis Gone Wild!’ was born.  States Wendy White; “I can’t help but to Maximize all the Mini Power by painting minis, singing minis, showing minis, and performing minis!”

Nine new original mini-plays will be performed by the talented cast: Gema Calero, Luis Navarro, Rio Chavarro, Tamara C. Moore-White, Gabriel Villasmil, Jessica Pusceddu, Mario Temes, Robert Hernandez and Julie Kendall.  Wendy White is directing all of these plays!

The playwright and director, Wendy White has written over 125 one-act plays and was a resident playwright, curator and director at the Kraine Theater in the East Village of New York City from 1984 to 1992, and at the Expanded Arts Theater Company from 1994 to 2001, in the Lower East Side of New York City. Her off-Broadway productions are the basis for her new venue at the New Light Theatre. She recently produced her one woman show; The Jewish Nun to sold-out audiences in Off-Broadway’s 59e59 Theatre and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland.

In 2009, the New Light Foundation, Inc. represented the United States as Art Ambassadors by the 1-2-3 Kinderlachen e.V. foundation of Rottenburg, Germany by hosting the international “Global Gallery” project (www.123kinderlachen.org). During the course of this important project, the “world’s biggest canvas” emerged; painted by children – transcending all borders and conflicts.
