Native Woman the Musical, a devised, community created play tells stories by Native American women with a musical twist in this follow-up play to New Native Theatre’s breakout success Native Man the Musical that debuted at the 2014 Minnesota Fringe Festival. Taking a multi media approach featuring live performance, recorded music, projected video, and trademark Native comedy, the play features Native women throughout Minnesota daring to speak truth to the world in which they live.

The stories range from reliving the break dancing days of Little Earth United Tribes residents, to a heartbreaking real boarding school story from the cast’s eldest member, Grace Smith who hails from Pitka’s Point Alaska, to showcasing Electric Machete Studios founder, Rebekah Cristanta de Ybarra’s musical side as a singer-songwriter, to parodies of popular music like Deanna Standingcloud’s, Wiigwas, an Ojibwe take on the Notorious B.I.G.’s Juicy.
