Coyote’s Journey (2001)
In the Karuk language, the word for shadow is the same as the word for spirit.

Ancient tradition and cutting-edge technology are masterfully blended in this powerful live performance of Native California Karuk stories following the adventures and misadventures of California’s native trickster: Coyote.

Charlie “Red Hawk” Thom’s Coyote’s Journey is a traditional Native California Karuk tale brought to light by ShadowLight Productions using the ancient medium of shadow theater, with live bilingual (Karuk/English) storytelling, singing, and drumming, giantprojected shadows and live actors.

7 Visions (2002)
One of the fascinations this country holds for us is the process by which it turns people into “A People”.
Octavio Solis, playwright

7 Visions is a search for cultural identity and a spiritual quest. Written to coincide the Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, the play is narrated by the bony Calaca Flaca (a very urban skeleton) in “corrido” fashion, singing of a young Mission monk named Encarnacion who has a crisis of faith and identity when seven visions thrust him towards a new understanding of his true Latino core.
