Larissa FastHorse is a highly active writer, known for her latest play 'Fake It Until You Make It,' set to debut at Washington's Arena Stage. She has already established her reputation with previous works like 'The Thanksgiving Play,' the first Broadway show written by a Native American woman. FastHorse is also adapting well-known productions to better represent Native American narratives. Her work engages with themes of race, identity, and citizenship, reflecting her commitment to addressing complex social issues through comedy and drama. Despite her fear of solo performance, she continues innovating and exploring new ideas in her craft.
I hope people are hearing some new ideas, or ideas in new ways. So much of my work is about these issues, and I like to think this is a next step in the conversation.
The government put on Native Americans was the concept of 'blood quantum,' meaning you have one native, one parent, and it is questionable.
I'm terrified. I've never done solo in my life, and my tutu days are behind me.
Fake It Until You Make It focuses on two nonprofits, sharing office space, competing for Native-American clients and grant money.
