In response to the need for Native theatre artists to work with other Native creatives to develop their shows, First Storyteller’s Festival was created. Each year the festival will develop work for the stage by Native artists from all over Turtle Island, educate the next generation of Native storytellers and help reclaim the narrative for Native stories.
Monica Williams, Chief Consulting Officer of The Equity Project, will lead a presentation addressing how to show up as an authentic ally through DEIA practices.

Pink Man: or The Only Indian in the Room follows a young Ojibwe on a semi-autobiographical, semi-realistic journey of self-discovery as he battles tradition, stereotypes, and himself.
