by Julie Jensen

Best New Play

(American Theatre Critics Association)

An intimate look at two families one white, one Native American, living side
by side in the Utah western desert is at the base of this highly theatrical
saga. The play covers 140 years of struggle between the Goshute tribe,
original inhabitants of what is now Utah, and the Mormon pioneers who
arrived to claim their promised land. A chamber history of spellbinding
power.

When a disturbing photograph of Richie's parents' service in Iraq is posted
to his locker, his life begins to unravel. Richie tries to uncover the truth
of his family's history with the help of his friend Amit and a digital
camera. Soon, seemingly innocent role-playing catapults Richie and Amit into
the center of a local murder mystery.

School of the Americas

Set in the Bolivian jungle, this poignant play by the Oscar-nominated writer

at the heart of the play.
