New Native Theatre kicked off 2019 in collaboration with Stages Theatre Company. In The Three Snow Bears, ride along with us through the magnificent Arctic landscape as a young Yup’ik girl embarks on a heroic sled-dog journey to save her village. On the search for the reasons of the widening river she meets a raven, a hare, a baby seal, and, finally, three snow bears. Join us as an endearing Baby Bear and a determined Yup’ik girl meet center stage in the world premiere production.

The Three Snow Bears, directed by Sandy Boren-Barrett and Sara Pillatzki-Warzeha with music composed by P. Ossie Kairaiuak, is inspired by THE THREE SNOW BEARS by Jan Brett. The script was written by New Native Theatre Artistic Director and Founder Rhiana Yazzie in collaboration with Alicia Smith and Grace Smith. Alicia and Grace are Yupik from Pitka’s Point Tribal Village in Alaska.
