Alaska Dispatch- Jack Dalton’s play “Assimilation” made a powerful impression when it premiered in Anchorage five years ago. Dalton, best known for his comic interpretations of Native lore, had written a blistering indictment of the boarding school era with roles reversed. In his telling, a vicious Native headmaster punishes white children for not being sufficiently Native.
Assimilation will be presented at 7pm this Friday at the Valdez Civic Center Ballroom. Tickets are $15 and free for PWSCC, VHS and Valdez Native Tribe members. This play is for mature audience.
