This is the New World
A special one-day-only work-in-process reading, written and performed by Tara Moses (Seminole/Mvskoke)
This is the New World is not a play, but a call to action. Through direct community engagement, experimentation of process, stories, and song, together we travel to the New World where one Native person is able to live free from the legacy of Christopher Columbus. But what will it take to arrive there?
This is an interactive performance that will ask audience members to take action before they leave the theatre.
