The Springer has commissioned award-winning Muscogee (Creek) playwright Eri Nox to write an original play about the astonishing people who thrived in this region for thousands of years.
This play began development in August 2023 with a workshop at the College of the Muscogee Nation in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, under the guidance of senior advisor Paul Pierce. The continuing vision of The MVSKOKE Project is to create an enduring theatrical legacy play that spans the Muscogee’s prehistoric beginnings in the river valleys of the Southeast to their first contact with Europeans to their removal on the Trail of Tears and finally into the rich tapestry of their modern-day Oklahoma society.
This is a story of the humor, traditions, struggles, quirks, and aspirations of the people whose words we speak every day yet know little about. Featuring a cast of Muscogee (Creek) actors, the Springer welcomes this region’s original citizens back to their ancestral lands for a dramatic Mvskoke homecoming.
