April 3 - 13, 2025 

A Muscogee family gathers at the home of their matriarch, Lahoma, who is soon to pass over to the other world. As they arrive, a cascade of family tales burst forth. Tales full of ghosts, dreams, tricksters, visions, memories, wild ones who ran away and dutiful caretakers who stayed behind. In returning to their family home in the Muscogee Nation, three generations confront the challenge of celebrating Lahoma’s legacy while striving to honor her memory - and a new path forward. 

This is a story of the humor, traditions, struggles, quirks and aspirations of the people whose words we speak every day yet know little about. Featuring a cast of Muscogee (Creek) actors, the Springer welcomes this region’s original citizens back to their ancestral lands for a dramatic Mvskoke homecoming.

Recommended for ages 13 and up.

The Mvskoke Project is sponsored by our partners at the National Endowment for the Arts and South Arts.
