Moderated Q & A by Randy Reinholz

In Fancy Dancer, over 500 Aboriginal women have disappeared in Canada within the last 15 years. In this dark comedy, the Trickster strives to bring this issue to the forefront using the medium of television. As the Trickster works his magic, an ambitious Native American journalist searches for a missing Fancy Dancer, April Fineday. As the journalist digs deeper into the story, she finds herself stepping outside of the safe boundaries of mainstream society into the dark dangers of April's world.

Part of the World Indigenous Theatre Reading Series
