- Ethnic Cultural Center
- The Ethnic Cultural Center sponsors an event in recognition of Native American Heritage Month. This year we are proud to present, Native Vision which highlights the Navajo experience in the 1930’s & 1940’s using a unique combination of theatre, video, and live interaction to create a high impact experience. The story follows a Navajo girl as she explores her family’s past while struggling to keep her culture in a government-run boarding school. Her vision of becoming a modern healer in a changing world is brought to life as her community joins the US in WWII.

- Performance will be proceeded by a Q&A with Living Voices performer, Lily Gladstone
Lily Gladstone (Blackfeet/Nez Perce) graduated with a BFA in Acting and a Minor in Native American Studies from the University of Montana in 2008. Most recently, she completed a year-long tour with the Montana Repertory Theatre's production of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. Born and raised on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana, Lily is excited to be a part of an expanding presence of Native voices in the performing arts. In the words of Alice Benally's grandmother, "To speak a thought is to give it power." Therefore, to carry one through to performance gives it exceptional power. To perform the stories of real people and real experience carries a heavy responsibility. It is with this belief that Lily is both honored and humbled to be a part of Living Voices. She hopes that through Native Vision, she can in some way honor this story of extreme adversity, extraordinary resilience and, ultimately, of healing.

- The Tempest

- Jones Playhouse
- Shakespeare’s final play is a wonder of invention, an exuberant celebration of theatrical art and artifice: a tempest, a shipwreck, castaways, lost children, music, first love, revenge, drunken clowns, murder plots, magic, monsters, spirits, and three Roman gods! The Tempest and its enchanted island are a middle world where society is turned upside down and the future placed in the hands of two young lovers.
