Welcome Gene Tagaban!


It is a bit tardy, as he's been knocking around the rehearsal rooms for a couple of weeks now, but we wanted to take a moment to welcome and introduce Gene Tagaban, soon to appear on our stage in According to Coyote.

According to Coyote is a collection of Native American trickster lore written by John Kauffman. John, a Nez Perce and the then-Artistic Director of Honolulu Theater for Youth, first brought According to Coyote to SCT in 1989. He passed away the next year.

SCT is proud to have teamed with storyteller Gene Tagaban for this season's remount of According to Coyote. Gene is a gifted storyteller and engaging motivational speaker and educator. You can find out more about Tagaban at his website. And check back here later this week with for a video interview with Gene (if you have a question you'd like Gene to answer, post it in the comments before Wednesday morning).

According to Coyote opens March 14 and runs through May 11 in the Eve Alvord Theatre at Seattle Children's Theatre.
