My Story is Gluskabe

February 29 – March 17
Adapted by Carol Dana and other story-keepers of the Penobscot Nation

In the earliest days, a boy called Gluskabe ventures into the world. With the wisdom and guidance of his Grandmother Woodchuck, the young Gluskabe discovers and shapes the Wabanaki landscape and brings balance to all elements that affect human life: the land, water and sky – the animals and the environment.

Through a series of remarkable adventures, Gluskabe grows into the Penobscot Nation’s cultural hero, still remembered and revered today. With music, dance and theatrical spectacle we reimagine a production first produced in our DA program as Transformer Tales. We are thrilled to bring these stories to our mainstage series, partnering with the remarkable young people from our DA program and citizens of the Wabanaki nations to bring these stories to brilliant theatrical life.
