Here’s your cheat sheet when it comes to Native American culture: Johnny Depp as Tonto is, ahem, less than authentic, but Theater for the New City’s 38th annual event is the real deal. The two-hour performance by the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers is a whirlwind tour across North America that includes a caribou dance from the Inuit, a buffalo dance from the Hopi and a stomp dance originating in the Southeast. The pageantry is all explained with stories and introductions by MC Louis Mofsie, and audiences can share the joy of the powwow during the friendship-themed Round Dance.
