La Jolla Playhouse once again pairs with Native Voices at the Autry, to host the sixth annual Short Play Festival.
The Autry is the only equity theater company devoted exclusively to developing and producing new works for the stage by Native American, Alaska Native, and First Nations playwrights.
At this year's festival, titled Take Back the Land, there will be short plays by seven Native American playwrights from across the United States.
The festival features:
Dance by Jay Muskett (Navajo): Three generations of Navajo women confront climate change in their drought-stricken community.
Bear in Stream by Frank Henry Kaash (Katasse): A Katasse (Alaska Native) uncle teaches his nephew to appreciate the resilience of salmon.
Waiting for H20 by Claude Jackson (Gila River Indian Community): Two young boys from the Gila River band are amazed to learn that there actually was a Gila River.
Snooky Is a Terrorist by Vickie Ramirez (Tuscarora): A brother suspects his sister of plotting drastic measures against the local dam project.
Porcupine by Diane Glancy (Cherokee): A group of men examine their culpability in the destruction of their own land by the natural gas industry and fracking.
Article 13: Or How Manhattan Was Sold by Alan Kilpatrick (Cherokee): A Lenape chief trades land with the Dutch, but first he insists on observing the appropriate "customs."
Backstage, Blue Moon by Ed Bourgeois (Mohawk): North, East, South and West are killing it at the afterlife comedy club known as the Blue Moon. But why isn't Mother Earth getting the love she deserves?
