Blood Quantum Physics: A Live Audio-Recorded 

New Native Theatre is proud to announce the debut of Blood Quantum Physics, a groundbreaking live audio play written by Deanna StandingCloud that explores the rich lives and complex relationships of a group of Native American women navigating modern Indigenous communities. The series delves into the intersection of life, love, culture, and identity, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to honor tradition while adapting to a contemporary world.

It will be recorded live at Gremlin Theatre in Saint Paul, Minnesota where audiences can watch the series divided into Part One and Part Two on alternating evenings. Blood Quantum Physics brings to life the stories of three dynamic Native women: Maria Boyd, Tina Cloud, and Sarah Roberts. Each bringing a unique voice and a blend of personality, purpose, and resilience to the stage as they support each other through life's challenges. The play touches on pivotal moments, from participating in powwows to crafting traditional ribbon skirts, offering both humorous and poignant insights into the Indigenous experience.
