MISCHIEF
A Co-Production by Neptune Theatre, Native Earth Performing Arts, & Tarragon Theatre.
Between mystical visits from an ancient ancestor, every-day life at her job at her Uncle's convenience store on the Rez, and her community rallying to tear down a statue of her city's founder, Brooke feels torn. She is struggling to reconcile her Mi'kmaw heritage and living in a place founded by a British military officer hell bent on destroying her ancestors.
This gentle comedy asks the question - how can a woman whose family lives in a society placed under a microscope of stereotype, carry the resilience of her ancestors to embrace their existence?

“Maddie Bautista’s imaginative and complex sound design enhances the effect. When Emily speaks, her words echo slightly, and there’s an underlying hum that builds intensity. Bits of music punctuate various scenes, adding texture and depth.”
