Growing up in South Dakota, Lara is half Lakota and half White but feels like an outsider everywhere she goes. When a problem with her legs lands her in a beginner ballet class for physical therapy, she hates it — until the story of Osage prima ballerina Maria Tallchief inspires her to pursue a professional dance career. But with a body that doesn’t quite conform, can she make her dream come true? Suitable for multigenerational audiences, this autobiographical coming-of-age drama by renowned writer Larissa FastHorse (Broadway: “The Thanksgiving Play”) celebrates the power of perseverance and finding your community.
*This co-production will take place at Seattle Rep in the Leo K. Theater.
