and plans are underway for a New York production. Her newest musical
comedy, Bingo, premiered at the Civic Light Opera of South Bay Cities
in California; had a long run at The Ordway in Minneapolis; and just

on the Network Broadcast of the Tony Awards, Good Morning America,
and on The Rosie O'Donnell Show.
In addition
to the theatre, her music has appeared in several independent films
and industrials. Her song "Dinosaur Swing" can be heard on the children's
recording Sing Me A Story, by Bob McGrath of Sesame Street. More recently,
"Whadify," co-written with Everett Bradley was featured in the premier
episode of Dawson's Creek on the WB Network. With writing partner
Michael Heitzman, Ms. Reid wrote a song for the cast of Gypsy!, starring
Bernadette Peters, for the Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids Christmas
album, Carols for a Cure. In addition to an episode for the NBC television
series Just Deal, Ilene and Michael are developing Scott Free, an
original series, with Barbra Streisand's production company, Barwood.
Scott Free was sold to Paramount Productions last year.
