THUNDER BAY — Audiences are enjoying Magnus Theatre’s production of Indigenous playwright Falen Johnson’s Two Indians play about two cousins reuniting in the city after a family tragedy, which runs from Jan. 25-Feb. 10 in Thunder Bay.

“I enjoyed the play, it brought to light some of the stuff, being [from] a First Nation, that’s going on today,” says Sheryl Singleton, a Biinjitiwaabik Zaaging Anishinaabek citizen, noting that boil water advisories were brought up in the play, which her community has had. “We always had to have bottled water delivered to our houses every day.”

Betty Kennedy, a former executive director at Ontario Native Women’s Association and former city councillor in Thunder Bay, says the play was excellent.
