Through personal stories and family photographs, professional actor Erin Kelley, a direct descendant of noted Shawnee leader, Tecumseh, shares her experiences growing up in a Native American/multi-racial family. Portrait of My People offers a personal glimpse into Shawnee and Cherokee history and encourages children (and adults alike) to explore their family heritage and embrace all the parts of their own unique identity. Presented by Avalon Theatre Company, this production received a Kevin Kline Award nomination for Outstanding Production for Young Audiences and enjoyed a successful engagement at the Missouri History Museum in 2010.
