The MACC Presents LOOKING FOR TIGER LILY - WRITTEN BY AND STARRING ANTHONY HUDSON 

Maui Arts & Cultural Center has added a solo performance to its events schedule that features Portland, Oregon based Anthony Hudson entitled Looking For Tiger Lily.

Hudson, a member of Oregon's Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, is a multidisciplinary artist and writer and Looking For Tiger Lily utilizes song, dance, drag, and video to put a queer spin on the ancestral tradition of storytelling. As Hudson has described it, "It's a cabaret, it's a play, it's a remixed version of storytelling, and it's a slide show." The performance is in the McCoy Studio Theater, Friday, March 4 at 7:30 pm. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, February 15 online only at 10am.

In this production, Hudson asks what it means for a queer half-white, half-Native American to experience their heritage through white normative culture as they recount growing up watching the 1960 television production of Peter Pan. This presentation featured Sondra Lee's blonde, blue-eyed 'Indian Princess' Tiger Lily, and Anthony (and Carla) draw from a songbook in their performance stretching across Disney's Pocahontas to Cher's Half-Breed. Not just autobiography, Looking For Tiger Lily is a coming-of-age story that's more than cowboys versus Indians.

The production includes Piano & Arrangement by Maria Choban, and animation by Daniel Quasar The program may include mature content and language.

Looking For Tiger Lily was originally funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council and developed in partnership with the 2016 Risk/Reward Festival of New Performance.
