Staged on a moving city bus, which drives around the city and visits locations matching those in the play's plot. Tales of an Urban Indian is the story of Simon Douglas, a contemporary Indigenous man, who grows up on both the reserve and in Vancouver. This show conjures up many characters that appear in Simon's life, all played by one actor.
TIFT's production of Tales of An Urban Indian has been touring internationally since it premiered in 2009, and has played over 700 performances.
