Change for the Better: On Indigineity at the Stratford Festival -

www.intermissionmagazine.ca: Stratford is changing for the better. At least, that’s according to Tara Sky (who plays Cordelia in this season’s production of King Lear) and Joelle Peters (Eugenia in Women of the Fur Trade). Peters, Sky, and I met on a sunny morning at the Festival Theatre to talk about the productions this season’s in the Stratford Festival in which they are starring, and what it’s like being young, hip, Indigenous artists balancing busy careers while acting in a small town. King Lear and Women of the Fur Trade are powerful productions for very different reasons.
