Mary Reynolds Aldis was an American playwright active during the early twentieth century. She is best remembered for her contributions to the little theater movement, a reformist theatrical trend in the United States.
In the early 1910s, Aldis established a small theater outside of Chicago, Illinois. Through this venue and her own dramatic writing, she helped foster community-based, non-commercial theatrical productions during a transformative era for American drama.
