Tales of an Urban Indian
March 13-28, Wells Fargo Theater
Native Voices at the Autry presents a one-man tale of a life observed through the lens of a contemporary urban Indian making his way from the reservation to the city and experiencing his own unique (and often devastatingly hilarious) brand of culture shock. Sad, funny, and always entertaining, Darrell Dennis (Shuswap) invites us to a world where overcoming the odds is just the beginning.
