Play honors ‘Mvskoke Way’

Bacone College hosts a live celebration of language culture Saturday night,
courtesy of Thunder Road Theater.

The Tulsa-based troupe holds its collaborative production “The Mvskoke Way”
at 7:30 p.m. at Bacone’s Palmer Center. Tickets are $5 at the door.

“The Mvskoke Way” features “collectively created humorous skits, Native
storytelling and audience participation,” says Thunder Road co-founder Jana
Butler-Rhoads.

One skit revolves around a grandfather teaching his city-born grandson how
to fish, while the other concerns a mother educating her daughter on
gardening. Both pieces are performed using a combination of Creek and
English languages.

Creek storytellers also take the stage to spin bilingual tales, as well as
a language game the actors will play with the audience.
