Event Department
Cultural Affairs
Description
As part of the Native Voices Playwrights Festival, The Autry presents Never Say Die by Jennifer Bobiwash. After a decade and a half of self-imposed detachment, the world’s standstill prompts one woman to revisit her past. Returning to the hometown, she once walked away from; she is reunited with old friends and family members, stirring a mix of emotions, memories, and tensions. Is blood thicker than water? Can we break past cycles, or are we doomed to repeat them?
