Indian Princesses

The Lowdown

The play drags us back to 2008, the peak of suburban cultural appropriation disguised as bonding. It tracks five girls of color and their oblivious white dads in a father-daughter program that treats indigenous culture like a craft project involving construction paper and feathers. The satire manages to stay tender while picking apart the specific brand of awkwardness that comes when parents refuse to answer the hard questions. Rodriguez nails the discomfort of a room full of people pretending everything is fine while the history being ignored is staring them in the face. It is a tight, well-observed look at the stories we tell ourselves to stay comfortable. Catch it before June 7.
