The Woman Who Was Captured by Ghosts by Julie Pearson-Little Thunder (Creek)

About This Show

Three new plays by Native playwrights, featuring staged readings of new works by Diane Glancy (Cherokee) and Julie Pearson-Little Thunder (Creek), and a staged developmental production of Time Immemorial by Jack Dalton (Yup’ik) and Allison Warden (Inupiaq).

Told through a blend of realistic and mythical storytelling, a Cheyenne woman faces her real-life battle with cancer by summoning the traditional “Story of the Contrary Society” and finds answers to her demons by confronting the struggles of her past. Appropriate for ages 14 and older.
