Native America Calling: More than just a satirical ghost story in ‘Haunted’ play
Friday, October 10, 2025
Tara Moses’ ‘Haunted’ is more than just a satirical ghost story
In the Tara Moses play, “Haunted,” two Native ghosts are caught in a seemingly endless cycle of haunting the prospective owners of a house, while also being haunted in return by racist stereotypes.
The Millennial siblings have a penchant for the soundtrack of their youth that leans heavily on Britney Spears. Along the way they find themselves on a journey to a higher calling. Tune in to hear from Moses about her work coming to the stage in Los Angeles, California.
Also, hear from recipients a $100,000 prize from the 2025 SHIFT – Transformative Change + Indigenous Arts Awards at the Native Arts + Culture Foundation. The artists produce works that address social change through a Native lens.
