The Counting of the Heads presents a poignant Osage romance set in Oklahoma during 1906. The story revolves around Will and Annie, whose love faces the challenges of cultural differences and family dynamics after their separation raises questions about their children's enrollment status at the first Osage tribal census. As feelings rekindle during their unexpected reunion, the play explores themes of passion and partnership against the backdrop of Will's Native identity and Annie's non-Native background. Written by Steve Callahan, this drama draws from personal family history to highlight the complexities of love and cultural heritage.
