First Light Flash Back by: Annawon Weeden

Prepare to be transported through time as Annawon Weedon performs his acclaimed one-man show, First Light Flashback. Annawon is a member of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe and traces his ancestry to the Pequot and Narragansett peoples, the original inhabitants of what we now call New England.

This is not a passive performance.

Annawon’s storytelling is interactive, engaging, and deeply educational. Audience members don’t just watch, they participate. Following the performance and Q&A, Annawon will lead a hands-on workshop where each guest will create a traditional corn husk figure to take home as a keepsake.

Storytelling. History. Culture. Participation.

Join us for an unforgettable opening to our 2026 season.
