Once again New York City gets all the cool stuff! This weekend if you're in New York, you can check out William S. Yellow Robe, Jr.'s (Assiniboine) stage adaptation of Powwow Highway, a novel by David Seals (Huron). You might be more familiar with the 1989 film version starring Gary Farmer and A Martinez.
Via Amerinda, Inc.
To recap the story is about Philbert, a local misfit, who is asked to travel with Buddy to rescue Buddy's sister from jail. The unlikely pair set out on a roundabout journey from the Cheyenne Reservation in Montana to New Mexico. Powwow Highway is a funny and heartfelt story about being there for each other and finding ones faith where you least expect it.
For old time's sake here's the movie trailer from 1989:
