COMING SOON
Four Women in Red
by Laura Shamas
A provocative play about four resilient women who search for their missing loved ones.
In Anishinaabe lands, apathetic sheriffs are unable to help four First American women find their missing sisters, daughters and loved ones who have disappeared. The rollercoaster journey involves suspense, mystery, prayer and joy. When one family gets some news, will it tear this group apart? Ultimately, the four women forge a new path forward together.
Written by Laura Shamas (2023 LANPP Awardee)
Directed by Jeanette Harrison
Produced by Maria Gobetti
Opens January 17, 2025.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We acknowledge that we are living and working on the unceded territory of the Tongva and the Kizh people who are the original stewards of this land. We understand that achieving healing and reconciliation will require a long and sustainable commitment; this land acknowledgment is only a first step, but we hope it will help to raise awareness about histories that are often suppressed or forgotten, though very present all around us. We encourage you to look up what land you work on and live on and continue to learn about the indigenous people who made their homes in and around the area we now call Los Angeles.

* Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW), is a human rights crisis of violence against Indigenous women.
The powerful image of a red handprint has come to symbolize the Missing Murdered Indigenous Women movement, representing the thousands of women who have been silenced. Beyond politics and detective work, the handprint has found its way into art and fashion to raise awareness.
