Beginnings: A Musical Meditation on Coast Salish Lifeways

Children of the Setting Sun Productions pulls out the stops to present Father Pat Twohy's beloved epic poem.

"The book, Beginnings, is something all Coast Salish People can be proud of because it marks this time as a time when we can say that we made it! We survived! We can and we will heal as a People. Our teachings come from the same place of love as the Christian teachings. It's our job to walk with one another." --Darrell Hillaire [Tse-sum-ten]

The evening includes performances in English and local indigenous language, as well as music delivered by many voices and an orchestra. Visual collaboration between Lummi and The Lookout Arts Quarry's Heather (Noodles) Sparks and Jason LeClaire, Plus the stunning orchestral arrangements of Mark Nichols.

Children of the Setting Sun is becoming well-known for it's award-winning film work as well as the company's successful theater shows, "WHAT ABOUT THOSE PROMISES" & "SONNY SIXKILLER BUYS THE REDSKINS". "BEGINNINGS" tells an important and beautiful story of survival and a thriving culture that exists right here on the Salish Sea.

BARNSTAR, located very near the Silver Reef Casino, is typically used as an upscale wedding venue, but is also a wonderful place to see a show. It seats 200, with not a bad seat in the house (or "barn" to be more accurate.)
