When initially staged on the moving bus in the spring of 2009, Tales of an Urban Indian became a smash hit and ran for seventy performances. Now, this production is back for one performance only before its repeat engagement in May 2011. Tales of an Urban Indian is the story of Simon Douglas, a contemporary First Nations male born on a reserve in British Columbia in the 1970s and raised both on the reserve and in the city of Vancouver. The story is a semi-autobiographical tale about a kid growing up. Told entirely from a personal perspective, Tales of an Urban Indian conjures up an array of characters that come in and out of Simon's life as seen through Simon's eyes, all played by one actor. Simon’s friends on the reserve, his mother and grandmother, his girlfriends and every other character are all portrayed through Simon's mimicry. Visit www.tift.ca for more information.
