Indigenous playwrights

Indigenous playwrights are writers who create plays that reflect the stories, culture, history, and perspectives of Indigenous peoples—such as Native Americans, First Nations, Métis, Inuit, Aboriginal Australians, and others. Their work often explores themes of identity, colonization, resilience, and cultural preservation. These playwrights aim to share their communities’ voices and experiences through theater, fostering understanding and challenging stereotypes. They contribute to the broader theatrical landscape by highlighting diverse narratives and ensuring Indigenous stories are represented on stage, promoting cultural awareness and dialogue.
