About the Play"...the productions artistic potential is the juiciest enticement. Sharp writing and strong performances promise to reward people who go."Los Angeles Times"Compelling and relevant . . . well acted . . . this is one of the best productions I have seen from Native Voices."Peoples World"Both an entertaining comedy/drama and a nuanced look at the debate between corporate America and traditional values."Stage RawPURE NATIVE by Vickie RamirezDirected by Randy ReinholzBrewster White returns to the reservation, with a plan to convince the tribal council and clan mothers to lease "Rez" water rights to a large food conglomerate that wants to sell Pure Native bottled water. The only problem is his close friends and family aren't on board, and his old love Connie is fiercely opposed. Will the community vote to change their recipe for traditional life with a proposal to bring hundreds of jobs to the Rez if it risks dramatically changing their daily lives? Or will they hang on to tradition?This play was workshopped as Corn Soup.Native Voices at the Autry is devoted to developing and producing new works for the stage by Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and First Nations playwrights.TICKETS & MORE INFORMATION: https://theautry.org/events/signature-programs/native-voicesPhoto - All uses Craig Schwartz
