I miss writers' twitter and #newplay twitter. If it were still a thing, I'd ask: what PUBLISHED plays by Native writers do you recommend? Which Native plays are on your bookshelf?

Distraught at the state of our media and PBS getting defunded? Now’s a great time to cancel one of your subscriptions to a streamer and use that money to make a monthly donation to PBS, which also gets you access to their streaming service where you can stream Great Performances and Sesame Street

So proud that this powerful play is now published. It was such an honor to work on this throughout the development and premiere process.

YES!!!!! Congrats, Laura, on getting your powerful play published!

I was today years old when I learned that the chorus of Nirvana's Come As You Are isn't family--eee family family... Yes I want you to be as a trend as a friend as a moment as family family family family.

Somehow it now feels ... less dangerous.

Thank you to @vinceschilling.bsky.social for covering this important work #MMIR #MMIW nativeviewpoint.com/native-theat...

Of the many actions you could take on the complex issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, a simple but collectively powerful one is how you can engage with media reports on #MMIW
- especially social media. (1/4)

Show poster artwork by Nipinet Landsem for the play FOUR WOMEN IN RED by Laura Shamas; opened February 14. Profiles of 4 Native American women, standing on the right, facing left. Also flowers. This poster will also be the cover of the published play.

My full-length play FOUR WOMEN IN RED is currently posted on @newplayexchange.bsky.social , in a list of MMIR plays curated by @jeanetteharrison.bsky.social . It will be published this summer by Broadway Play Publishing. It’s available for free for a few days right now.

It's #TheatreAdvocacyWeek. Yesterday, I wrote to my reps. Check out the rest of the week's activities www.tcg.org/takeaction & join the fight to make sure theatre and the arts remain independent, well-funded, and accessible for all. #DefendTheatre

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

Here’s why I’ll be voting NO on the partisan funding bill.

New dates! We now open on 2/14, National Day of Action & Awareness for Missing & Murdered Indigenous People #MMIW #MMIW2S #MMIR #MMIP #newplay

Support Your Local Native Theatre Artists How new-work development and proactive hiring can solve the problem of near-zero Native representation on U.S. stages.

I wrote a thing! It was published this week, as part of a series, Theatre Futures in American Theatre magazine.
www.americantheatre.org/2025/01/14/s...

A quote from an 1890 newspaper editorial by Matilda Joslyn Gage: "And yet the history of the world shows that wherever ecclesiastical schools have been tried--wherever the Church has secured influence above that of the State, the standard of education has been universally lowered."

Stumbled across this while researching a new project, from an 1890 editorial:

Intro post: Theater artist who crosses into other mediums. Director, writer, began as an actor and radio on-air personality. Arts leader who champions #NativeRepresentation. Native creatives need to lead Native stories & we need Natives in leadership in all aspects of the entertainment industry.

I do like that its base is open source, which hopefully limits billionaire takeovers in the future. (that's how an earlier geekier version of me won the to join or not to join question)

Beth Piatote's Antikoni is a beautiful play!

Wouldn't it be nice if we could just import everything we liked from our old twitter accounts to this platform? Without having to start all over? #newplay #pwopp #amwriting #insteadofredface
