This high energy comedy follows two urban Indigenous sisters and their encounter with a lawless trickster, as they explore what it means to honor who they are and where they come from. Follow their journey in this captivating, contemporary new play, as the courageous sisters turn to the ancestors for help to reclaim their power.

In May 2021, Kim Senklip Harvey became the first Indigenous playwright to win Canada's Governor General’s Award for English Language Drama for Kamloopa. The judges said: “The brilliance, the irreverence, the fire of Kamloopa sweeps us into the world of three Indigenous women on a mind-bending quest. The audience is seduced by the love, humor and depth of these matriarchs as they embrace and celebrate who they are in the world and with each other.

Registration is $13 for OLLI members or $15 for non-members for streaming tickets.

Thank you to OLLI's Special Events Committee for organizing this and so many other great OLLI events.
