Rogers (citizen of the Cherokee Nation) directed by the accomplished Kyla Tucaya Garcia (Taíno) and Andre Bouchard (of Kootenai/Ojibwe/Pend Oreille/Bitterroot Salish descent.

Immerse yourself in a chilling radio-style drama with stories brought to life by all Indigenous cast of seasoned theater/TV/Film actors. Their haunting performances will be underscored by the spectral compositions of Chantil Dukart (T’simshian and Sugpiaq (Aluutiq)) and eerie radio-style sound effects by Olympia sound designer Tuesday Mosshall.
