Digging Deep With Native Theatre Icon Muriel Miguel

AMERICAN THEATRE: The last time I had seen Muriel Miguel was in September 2019 in Ottawa. She was sitting on a stage at the Canadian National Arts Center, in their newly opened Indigenous wing, solely dedicated to the production of and presentation of performing arts by Canada’s First Nations. Beside her were playwrights Tomson Highway and Marie Clements; as usual, I was both starstruck and in awe of the vibrancy of First Nations theatre.
