Native Earth will light a new fire in the heart of Spring 2025, revisiting Indigenous works from the past plus a newly published play, marking an inaugural Play Reading Week. Native Earth will stage readings of notable works by Indigenous playwrights from the past four decades to revisit work with community to laugh, reflect and explore themes, ideas and perspectives, honouring and ushering Indigenous artistic legacies.

“Play Reading Week will be a way for Native Earth to honour our history, our Voices of Aki,” said Joelle Peters. “Where the past meets the present. How do these works reflect their time? Are the themes explored still prevalent in today’s contemporary landscape? What conversations can be sparked from exploring works from the past?”
