By Larissa FastHorse

Presented by Seattle Rep and Seattle Children's Theatre
Growing up half Lakota and half white, Lara lives as an outsider until she discovers the story of Osage prima ballerina Maria Tallchief and is compelled to become a dancer. But with a body that doesn’t quite conform, can she make her dream come true? A world premiere suitable for multigenerational audiences, this autobiographical coming-of-age play by renowned writer Larissa FastHorse (Broadway: The Thanksgiving Play) celebrates the power of perseverance and finding your community.
Performed by alternating actors, this heartfelt solo show stars FastHorse herself and rising star Burgandi Trejo Phoenix, bringing to life this story filled with humor, resilience, and hope.
