Soledad “Sunny” Sixkiller, a socially awkward high school student, discovers her father was an award-winning singer, overwhelmed by his grief over the disappearance of his wife (and Soledad’s mother). Sunny, by chance, discovers her father’s old hit tapes and vows to learn his songs in order to bring him back to life.

SOLEDAD stars Julie Cloutier (Onondaga), Brett Heckscher (Cherokee), Bradley Lewis (Akuma), and Rhea Nez (Nahuatel). The production team includes Francis Melgargo (Production Director), Taryn Mack (Stage Director), Alexi Cruz (Assistant Director) and Marilyn Pagan Flores (Media).
