Understudy Performance: The Mound Builders

Director: Pamela McDaniel

At an archeological dig in the Midwest, a party of university scientists are unearthing vestiges of a lost indigenous civilization. They are joined by family, associates, and an outsider with ulterior motives. The play interweaves past and present, probing into the lives and conflicts of these disparate people. Their story reveals the lessons of our past and illuminates our collective blindness as we navigate the future.
