Miles returns to Pittsburgh Irish and Classical theatre and their Expand The Cannon staged reading series in the 18th century blockbuster A Bold Stroke for a Wife by Susanna Centlivre. She plays Miss Anne Lovely, an orphaned heiress described simply as 'the prize' on the play's title page.

The soldier Fainwell and Anne Lovely are in love, but their path to the altar is blocked by her guardians, each of whom has a different view of what sort of husband would make the right match. Fainwell resorts to disguises of social types. The play thus provides a wide range of opportunity for Centlivre to satirize Tory respectability, religious propriety and capitalist speculative greed—and to give voice to tolerance: ‘tis liberty of choice that sweetens life.’
