Native Theater Festival

The Public Theater is proud to announce the return of the Native Theater Festival, a four day festival dedicated to presenting extraordinary theatrical work by Native theater artists from the U.S. and Canada. It will feature three free readings of new works by Native playwrights followed by post-show discussions; a concert by Native and African-American singer Martha Redbone; topical field discussions on issues of particular concern to artists in the Native theater community; and a conversation with Oskar Eustis and other artists on politics and performance that will be open to the general public. All events (with the exclusion of Martha Redbone’s concert at Joe’s Pub, which requires advance tickets) will be completely free and open to the public, though advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
