Teatro Paraguas to Present COYOTE THE TRICKSTER

Local playwright, Rebecca Morgan, with the help of Teatro Paraguas Children's Theatre Program's after school theatre arts students, has adapted six Coyote Tales from several Native American Tribes of the Southwest.

The full length one hour play, COYOTE THE TRICKSTER, adapted and directed by Rebecca Morgan, is based upon six tales of the Native American trickster character, Coyote: A Navajo Tale called "Coyote Gets a Coat" "Coyote Envies Bluebird," a Cheerokee tale; "Coyote Holds up the Mesa," a Hopi tale; "Turtle Out-Tricks Coyote," another Navajo tale; "Coyote Imitates Elk," a Caddo tale; and "Coyote Steals the Stars," a Pueblo tale about the sky.

The entire family will laugh, sigh, and "tsk tsk"with Coyote as he tries to find his place among the First People. These tales teach us to be ourselves, not try to change who we are by imitating our friends; to question things we hear and make up our own minds about gossip; to keep our heads when things look bad; why bullies never really win and more!

The play is performed in English, with original flute and guitar music by JoJo Sena-Tarnoff. The After-school performing arts students portray all of the First People.
