Bluff City Theater, Hannibal’s new non-profit professional theater company, is pleased to offer a select number of exclusive performances of its popular hit play Tales of An Urban Indian, starring Darrell Dennis this summer.
When initially staged on a moving bus in 2009, Tales of an Urban Indian became a smash hit and ran for 70 performances. Now, Bluff City Theater launches its inaugural season in Historic Hannibal with an exclusive run in the summer of 2014.

The story is a semi-autobiographical tale about Simon Douglas, a kid growing up. Raised both on the reserve and in the city of Vancouver, Canada, the play follows the trials and tribulations of Simon as he comes to terms with his life between two cultures. Told entirely from a personal perspective, Tales of an Urban Indian presents an array of characters that come in and out of Simon’s life as seen through his eyes- Simon’s friends on the reserve, his mother, grandmother, girlfriends and every other character are portrayed through Simon’s mimicry.

Tales of an Urban Indian is an intimate, moving and uplifting experience that leaves audiences spellbound. Performed entirely on a moving transit bus as it travels throughout Hannibal, you will quickly forget where you are as you are drawn into Simon’s story.
