Native Voices presents new and developing plays by Native playwrights in the form of staged readings at the Autry in Los Angeles. These three unique plays are dynamic stories written by fresh voices and the staged readings give you a chance to witness emergent artists presenting their new works. Different performances will be staged during each show including The Hummingbirds, a new play with music written and performed by the stars of last year's hit production of The Frybread Queen Elizabeth Frances, Kimberly Norris Guerrero and Shyla Marlin; The Bird House by acclaimed playwright Diane Glancy; and Distant Thunder: A Native American Musical, by Broadway actor Shaun Taylor-Corbett (one of the stars of In The Heights) and his mother, Tony-nominated Broadway choreographer and director Lynne Taylor-Corbett (Swing, Titanic). This special Goldstar offer includes a museum admission voucher valid through December 31, 2012, which will be distributed at the show. See the description below for a full schedule. Learn More

Maybe we're spoiled, but while this was certainly OK, it wasn't anything more when compared to similar events. The characters weren't distinct enough, not much new info or insight gleaned. A little, just not enough. We skipped the second show by same artist.Written on Mar 13 2012

Description
Written and performed by Robert Owens-Greygrass (Lakota)
Directed by Kevin Sifuentes (Hopi)
Producing Artistic Director Randy Reinholz (Choctaw)
Producing Executive Director Jean Bruce Scott
Walking on Turtle Island
In this tour-de-force performance, Robert Owens-Greygrass embodies twenty-two characters—from a grandfather, to a mixed-blood sun dancer, to a boy who has lost his dog, to an eighty-year-old Ojibway woman, to Iyeska, a trickster and spirit guide who moves through centuries and inhabits various spiritual “skins.” Greygrass portrays the often untold Indigenous experience through these powerful and unique stories of Turtle Island (North America).
Ghostlands of an Urban NDN
Follow Robert, a multiethnic-non specific-lower-middle-class-urban-NDN (Indian) white guy, as he navigates the conflicting worlds of a mixed-race heritage. Acclaimed storyteller Robert Owens-Greygrass portrays sixteen characters in this gritty look at the sometimes humorous, always gripping urban Native journey through the ghostlands.
These shows are appropriate for those ages 14 and older.
