Coming to PAC NYC following acclaimed runs at Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Yale Repertory Theatre, McCarter Theater and Seattle Rep, this play centers on one family’s story of love, loss, and resilience spanning the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee, forced re-education at Indian boarding schools, World War II, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam and the American Indian Movement occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Directed by Obie Award winner Eric Ting and infused with The 1491s’ boldly uninhibited comedy, this New York City premiere takes a hard look at the effects of systemic oppression long after our textbooks typically stop teaching Native history.

Between Two Knees

Perelman Performing Arts Center

A heartfelt and humorous world premiere. On the Gila River Indian Community reservation in Arizona, Rocky (Rainbow Dickerson) and her family face Rocky’s struggle to balance between traditional basket-making culture and the inroads on reservation life of the casino and her integration with non-native culture. Written by Claude Jackson, Jr., the director of his tribe’s public defender’s office, Cashed Out was the 2019 winner of the Native Voices at the Autry short play festival.
