Raving Reviews!!!!

"Breath-taking ... Sound and music are integrated flawlessly ... Wonderfully realized ... Moments of true genius! ... Harjo is a marvel, and her voice is beautiful! ... A grammy award-winning musician with a poetic Indian story - what a combination!"

These are just a few of the responses theatre-goers wrote to us after seeing 'Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light' during its opening weekend at the Autry. If you're one of the almost 500 people who watched Joy Harjo and Larry Mitchell during the play's first week, you already know what many others will soon learn- 'Wings' is now aloft, flying high on the praises being sung both by theatre-goers and critics alike!

We are VERY proud to share with you some notable, AWESOME reviews about the show!

LA Weekly Review
Native American poet and musician Joy Harjo is a woman who communes with spirits, and in this music-embellished piece, she opines about struggle, survival and transcendence in a powerful and eloquent voice.
-- Deborah Klugman

IndyBay Review
Harjo takes her audience on a journey that begins and ends with healing. If the essence of ceremony can be put on stage, she has done it.
-- Corina Roberts

LA Times
Her painful journey from a traumatic childhood to serenity and acceptance is well-charted, an inspirational odyssey that makes "Wings" take flight.
-- F. Kathleen Foley

From now until Sunday, March 29th, Joy Harjo's unique and deeply personal blend of performance, poetry, singing, and virtuoso sax come together to weave a spell on audiences. Reserve your seats today. Tickets are $20 for general admission, with a special $12 rate for Autry members and group sales.

For a limited time only, a select number of discount tickets are available for members of Goldstar and LA Stage Alliance; theater-goers can also take advantage of two pay-what-you-can performances, on Thursday, March 19th at 8pm, and Thursday, March 26th at 8pm (for individual ticket buyers only).


I got to see Joy and Larry Friday night of opening weekend and LOVED it!!! I was so excited to see the show come together as a whole, it really gave flight. I keep hearing such great things about it, from all different types of audiences - college students, the elders, theatre people, non-theatre people- and it really can be appreciated on so many levels. Wings is therapuetic, healing for the soul. I'm hoping to see it again closing weekend as well!

Since Joy is very natural in a concert-like setting, the set and lights are accordingly designed to make the stage feel right at home for Joy. This is a picture from one of Joy's songs in Wings of Night Sky, Wings of Morning Light.
