Church of Starry Wisdom

Lewis blends avant-pop, neo-soul, and musical theatre to investigate collective care, systems of power, authentic wholeness, and radical love. Lewis is one of Molly Andrews-Hinders’ projects, a stepping into liminal space and core questioning with harmony, power, and heart. Before Lewis, Molly was composer and director of Emergence, an ensemble piece that explored our individual and collective power within dysfunctional systems. Her work has been heard in theatres throughout Cleveland and beyond – including Cleveland Public Theatre, Maelstrom Collaborative Arts, Prop Thtr (Chicago), and Near West Theatre. Through Lewis and Naked Dinner, she hopes to connect with other artists, shapeshifters, organizers, and dreamers.

Creating Lewis

Creating Lewis blends avant-pop, neo-soul, and musical theatre to investigate collective care, systems of power, authentic wholeness, and radical love. The name “Lewis” has roots meaning “famous warrior.” Creating Lewis explores how we embody a warrior during these times. In what ways do we show up with courage, do we stay present in the struggle for wholeness, healing, repair, life and freedom? This project steps into liminal space and core questioning with harmony, power, and heart.
