SUMMARY:15th Annual Short Play Festival: To Indigeneity and Beyond!
DESCRIPTION:Join the museum for an exhilarating afternoon of staged readings featuring these groundbreaking new plays\, where talented playwrights will compete for the $500 Thomas Studie Gadugi Audience Prize and the $1000 Von Marie Atchley Excellence in Playwriting Award. \nFor far too long\, when most people thought of Native Americans\, they often conjured up outdated images of exotic figures from history\, adorned in leather and feathers\, trapped behind museum glass.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. \nFor 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.

Founded in 2020\, Good Medicine was first launched as a virtual comedy show raising funds for tribes impacted by covid-19.
