Come, make us laugh, teach us a lesson, or show us stoic as we join together for the Autry for our 14th Annual Short Play Festival. Instead of playing stoic, Native Voices’ 2024 Short Play Festival is asking for stories that play with stoic. Regale us with the playfully mischievous? Tackle the stories of the very real (and wise)? Showcase that brilliant wit lurking behind that stoic facade? We’re asking our writers to dive into the image of the “Stoic Indian.” Let’s flip that stereotype on its head. And for Native Voices 14th Annual Short Play Festival, you will, too! One of the most pervasive in film, history, and wooden statues: the stoic, wise leader.
