For far too long, when most people thought of Native Americans, they often conjured up outdated images of exotic figures from history, adorned in leather and feathers, trapped behind museum glass. Few see a beautifully vibrant culture that thrives today.

For their 15th Annual Short Play Festival, they asked Native playwrights to boldly go where few have imagined Native people before: the future! What captivating tales have they woven? Witness a future filled with hope, the delightfully absurd, and the downright terrifying.
