New Native Theatre
Our new season of WELL RED play readings! - Monthly readings of plays written by Native American and First Nations authors all throughout 2011
TUESDAY, November 15th, 7pm - An open dress rehearsal of BUT BABY I LOVE YOU by Sandy Whitehawk and George McCauley, directed by Rhiana Yazzie
Please join us for an open dress rehearsal of this play the day before we present it in Bemidji on November 17th at the Upper Mississippi Mental Health Cultural Competency Conference.
Wolfie and Cecilia are a 50 something Indian couple trying to make it. With years of experience navigating through life and learning to heal personal wounds with roots in historical trauma, Wolfie and Cecilia try their best to make their relationship work. They don’t know it, but there is a spirit who decides to move in with them, a Dark Figure who literally feeds off the dysfunction of Indian people. With moments of deep pain and anger, and the grace of the traditions of our Native peoples, witness as Wolfie and Cecilia love each other, hate each other, and heal each other. This play contains strong language and is not recommended for youth under the age of 13 and unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. 60 minutes.
