Super Indian: A Staged Reading

This program will be held in-person at the Newberry.

Dancing Pony Productions will present a reading of Arigon Starr’s original play, Super Indian, followed by a brief Q&A.

Hubert Logan was an ordinary Reservation boy until he ate tainted commodity cheese infused with Rezium, a secret government food enrichment additive. Known as Super Indian, Hubert fights evil forces who would overtake the Reservation's resources and population. Assisted by his trusty sidekicks Mega Bear and Diogi, they fight crime the way they know how — with strength, smarts and humor.
