"The Mixolydian" Play

The Lakes District Arts Council has kindly gifted our school with the scheduling of The Green Thumb Theatre, who will be preforming “The Mixolydian” a play about Bellevue, an 11-year-old Anishinaabe/Metis girl, who is on a journey through the woods. Reconnecting with her culture and language, Bellevue is accompanied by her “imaginary friend,” a shapeshifter named Thomas. Having recently lost her grandfather (Shoom), Bellevue feels out of touch with the stories and words her Shoom used to share. Luckily, with some help from ancestor Nokomis, Bellevue learns that Shoom’s knowledge lives on in her, and there is more to her friend Thomas than meets the eye.
We welcome all of our Grassy Plains Families to attend. We ask that all of us respect The Green Thumb’s Theatre’s request to not record or take pictures of the play.
