AMAS Theater, along with Tall Tree Productions is currently offering New Yorkers a chance to see a unique musical that sheds lights onto rarely told Native American stories.
Distant Thunder: A New American Musical is the first mainstream Indigenous musical in New York City and runs through October 27th Off Broadway at the Mezzanine Theater of A.R.T/ New York Theater located at 502 West 53rd Street.
Vibrant regalia by designer E.B. Brooks and impressive, traditional choreography coached by American Indian Dancers and Brent Florendo, create a visually appealing experience.
Tony nominated Lynne Taylor-Corbett directs, choreographs and co-wrote the book while her son, Shaun Taylor-Corbett stars and co-wrote the book.
A recent press release describes the show:
In Distant Thunder, a child is taken from his Blackfeet tribe and returns as a young attorney with an opportunity that unwittingly sets off a firestorm. Pop-rock merges with Native drumming and dancing, fusing cultures in this ultimately joyful first-of-its-kind musical.
The performance schedule will be as follows: Tuesday-Friday at 7pm, Saturday at 3pm and 7pm, and Sunday at 3pm. Tickets are $39-$49 ($79 premium) - All previews are $35 - and can be purchased online at www.amasmusical.org or by calling 212-563-2565.
