New Native Theatre opened its Fourth Annual Play Festival: Good Medicine on Thursday night, December 3rd.
The ten-day online festival will continue each day through December 13th, featuring Native American, First Nations, Māori, and Sámi artists from all around the world. The festival’s theme centers around Good Medicine, (inspired by Yvette Nolan’s book Medicine Shows that describes the importance of medicine in Native theatre) and Indigenous Futurism where Indigenous peoples reclaim and reframe their stories and imagine a vibrant future.
Upcoming plays include Ice Man the Frozen Protector by Red Lake Ojibwe playwright Zane (Tyrisah) Smith, The Great Return by northern Minnesota Ojibwe playwright, Lara Gerhardson. International performances include New Zealand’s Turango Collective, a Maori indigenous health and wellness company, Asa Simma of Giron Sami Teáhter in Sweden and Australian First Nations dancer Suri Bin Saad.

New Native Theatre is a new way of thinking about, looking at, and creating authentic Native American stories for the stage. Based in the Twin Cities, it is the only and longest running professional Native American theatre company in the Upper Midwest focusing exclusively on Native American playwrights, actors, and directors.
