Congratulations to Dr. Dustin Tahmahkera whose full-length play was one of four projects selected for commission by the theatres that comprise the Generation Now partnership, and the sole selection by Native Voices of the Autry.
Generation Now brings together five theatres across the nation to develop new works by both established and emerging BIPOC artists for multigenerational audiences. All commissions will receive at least two developmental workshops at the co-commissioning theatres. The goal of the partnership is to expand the canon of work produced and create a model of transformative partnership for the theatre field.
Tahmahkera’s Comanche Girl on the Moon was co-commissioned by Native Voices at the Autry and Children’s Theatre Company. The play follows an imaginative but insecure Comanche girl, Petu, who discovers her late grandmother’s rocket ship in Oklahoma. It will be available for licensing with Plays for New Audiences post-production.
