The Stories We Tell: Indigenous History, Theatre & Silver Springs

Presented by Ocala Civic Theatre at Silver River Museum, Ocala FL

Oct 10 2026
The Stories We Tell: Indigenous History, Theatre & Silver Springs

A talkback with The Thanksgiving Play director Vickie Ramirez and Scott Mitchell, director of the Silver River Museum

What happens when we tell stories about a place without knowing the stories that are already there? Drawing on her experience as an Indigenous playwright and director, Vickie Ramirez explores Indigenous history, storytelling, and representation and considers what theatre can teach us about the stories we inherit and the stories we choose to tell.

Refreshments will be served. THE THANKSGIVING PLAY is supported in part by Marion Cultural Alliance and the National Endowment for the Arts. Community Partners: Dave Schlenker Photography • Ocala Gazette
