I am a member of the STÁUT W First Nation/Norwegian settler descent and I grew up off-reserve in Kamloops. It is my pleasure to join the team at Western Canada Theatre as the Artistic Associate.
Governor General Award winning playwright Kevin Loring returns to the Sagebrush with this delightful satire about Land Claims from the perspective of the Nlaka’pamux Trickster, Coyote. I have learned that Coyote, or Sk’elep, is a prominent figure in Secwépemc stories and has helped shape the mountains, valleys, rivers, and streams of Tk’emlúps. These similarities in worldview make Little Red Warrior a great fit for this area.
The play is dedicated to warriors fighting for Indigenous Rights and I think of Leonard Marchand, the first person of First Nation Status to serve in the federal cabinet and Member of Parliament. I also think of his daughter and our former Managing Director, Lori Marchand, who advocates for the well-being of Indigenous people at the theatre and generously shares her knowledge and leadership with Western Canada Theatre. Additionally, I think of Arthur Manuel, an outspoken leader for Indigenous Land and human rights both nationally and internationally and Ronald Eric Ignace who became Canada’s first-ever Indigenous Languages Commissioner.
Western Canada Theatre commissioned an early draft of this play and it is truly a joy to see it arrive on our mainstage. As we look to the future, we strive to maintain this tradition of developing new Canadian works. I hope you enjoy a good belly laugh, and a surprising gasp, through experiencing this wild and wicked story.

This play is one of three scripts that I started writing in Theatre School in 1996, and it was one of two that upon graduating in 2000, I sent to Western Canada Theatre. Specifically, I sent them to the legendary Managing Director (and unbeknownst to me at the time… my cousin!) Lori Marchand, whom I now have the honour to work with at the NAC. The other play I sent to Lori was Where the Blood Mixes, which we co-produced with The Vancouver Playhouse for the world Premiere in 2008, and which went on to win the Governor General’s Award for Drama in 2009. These two plays are of course wildly different in style and subject matter. I think I was trying to show my range. It was performed at Studio 58 in 2000 as a student production, and then for 20 years I kicked it around. I’d workshop it every three of four years to see if it still worked, and then with no bites from Artistic Directors, I’d tuck it away again until another opportunity to test it out would arise. And every time we did it, it remained relevant and funny. Now I think it’s more relevant than ever. The world premiere was originally booked for 2019 at The Belfry Theatre in Victoria, but of course that was interrupted by the Global Pandy. Undeterred, we put up a staged reading of it on Zoom, and despite the challenges of Zoom Theatre, lo and behold, it was still funny! Coming out of the Pandy, the Belfry did premiere the play alongside The Cultch in Vancouver, in partnership with Savage Society and the NAC. Since then, we’ve Played Theatre Calgary and the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. I am so happy that after 25 years this play is finally home, in Kamloops, where it was always meant to be. Kwookstumx!
