The Milk Miracle
By Poonam Dhir
Part of Iowa New Play Festival – Reading Series
The Milk Miracle centers on a playwright navigating questions of identity, place, and belonging—both personal and cultural—while writing a story about a family struggling with grief, community expectations, and the weight of tradition. The play explores the layered tensions between the act of writing and the forces that shape a story’s creation.
The Hindi/Punjabi/Sanskrit has been transliterated into English, so if you do not speak the language, you can still somewhat sound out the words.
Guest Roundtable to follow.
