Mobile Ticketing Issue

Our digital ticketing system is currently experiencing technical issues displaying your mobile tickets.

We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.  If you have purchased tickets for a show, you still have tickets but will be unable to view them on your devices.

If you are a ticket holder for an upcoming performance of Awoowaakii, we ask that you arrive a few minutes earlier and pickup your tickets from the Big Secret Theatre box office (located on the Mezzanine level of Arts Commons, halfway up the central staircase).

We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Overview

A Story About the Importance of Family

Awoowaakii is a living room comedy of errors about Chrissy Sipatsimo, a Blackfoot transgender woman whose estranged father, Joseph, shows up in her life again. Joseph mistakes Chrissy’s friend Toni for Chrissy herself, and confusion ensues. This world premiere by local playwright Sable Sweetgrass is an immersive theatre experience, where the audience is enveloped within the world of the play in the intimate Arts Commons Big Secret Theatre.
