The Eagle Project Presents LOST VOICES

THE EAGLE PROJECT is pleased to announce its upcoming production of LOST VOICES an evening presenting two World Premiere plays written by Larissa FastHorse and Elise Marenson both directed by Jessi D. Hill. LOST VOICES is an evening of two one-act plays that explore how Hurricane Katrina uncovered America's darkest secrets.

VANISHING POINT, written by Lakota playwright Larissa FastHorse, is a new work inspired by the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe, America's first official climate refugees.

WIDE BLOSSOMS by Elise Marenson, deals with a young African American woman who reminds a seemingly white lawyer that in the end we are all connected to one another.
