AN EVENING WITH DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR

Wednesday, May 4 - 7pm

Presented by Scugog Arts

Scugog Arts presents a talk with famed Canadian playwright Drew Hayden Taylor as part of small town BIG. Drew will be speaking about his life and thoughts, being a playwright, and more! Join us for this in-conversation for an engaging, funny, and insightful discussion with one of Canada’s most notable playwrights.

During the last thirty years of his career, Drew Hayden Taylor has done many things, most of which he is proud of. An Ojibway from the Curve Lake First Nations in Ontario, he has worn many hats in his literary career, from performing stand-up comedy at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. to being Artistic Director of Canada's premiere Native theatre company, Native Earth Performing Arts. He has been an award-winning playwright, a journalist/columnist (appearing regularly in several Canadian newspapers and magazines), short-story writer, novelist, television scriptwriter, and has worked on numerous documentaries exploring the Native experience. Most notably as a filmmaker, he wrote and directed REDSKINS, TRICKSTERS AND PUPPY STEW, a documentary on Native humour for the National Film Board of Canada, and for CBC, co-created SEARCHING FOR WINNITOU, an exploration of Germany’s fascination with North American Indigenous culture.
