Two characters, Tulu and Miti, deal with changes experienced by the Inupiaq, post-contact with Western culture. In the Inupiaq culture, it is believed that a spirit is reborn each generation, thus, Tulu and Miti are the same spirit throughout the play, in different manifestations, brother, sister, husband, wife, daughter, father, etc. The thought provoking play is written and performed by internationally-recognized Alaskan actors Jack Dalton Allison Warden.

The commission and production were made in part to a grant from the Alaska Humanities Forum and the Rasmuson Foundation. Homer performances sponsored in part by WESTAF TourWest and the National Endowment for the Arts. Dalton is spening the week of Feb. 14-18 at Fireweed Academy as Artist in Schools in Homer. 

Multi-instrumentalist Mariah Ver Hoef [Vur-Hoof] self-recorded and produced her first album of all original music at age fourteen. A year later she produced her second, and at sixteen, she has now released her third solo album. Influenced by artist such as Linda Ronstadt, Vanessa Carlton, Fleetwood Mac, and Nickel Creek, Ver Hoef has developed a sound that puzzles genres. Somewhere between folk and pop she has created a body of work that varies from simple acoustic to electric guitar-driven songs. Her albums have grown in strength as she has matured, and she continues to shape her own style. Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, much of Ver Hoef's early work was inspired by the striking beauty of the wild and harsh climate of where she lives. At sixteen she writes about change and the simple fact of growing up. Ver Hoef continues to write songs and currently attends the University of Alaska, Fairbanks full time while finishing her high school degree. Apart from her music, she enjoys skiing, hiking, rock climbing, art and spending time with her older brother, Lander, to whom she dedicated her latest album, "Space Between Two Worlds." Mariah will perform at Bunnell March 2 at 7:30, following a family potluck - closing reception for 350 Earth. Tix: $15 general; $12 Bunnell members; $8 youth to age 18. This is also the last opportunity to purchase works for sale from 350 Earth to raise funds for 350.org, a national non-profit promoting education and advocacy about global climate change.
