Jack Dalton and Raven's Radio Hour - Starts Sunday August 17

I got this message forwarded to me today. Jack Dalton is a terrific actor/story teller. He has a great natural presence and is a truly nice guy besides. I'm going to try to catch at least one of the performances:

Sundays through Wednesdays, August 17 to September 16, at 7pm. (more specifics below)

I saw two different performances of My Heart Runs in Two Directions at Once
and they were both good, but not exactly alike.

And you can eat real Alaska Native food! Something you can't do easily in Anchorage if you don't have family or good friends who invite you to have real stuff.

Here's the email:


Dear Friends! Exciting news!
Starting this Sunday, August 17, at 7pm, an Alaska Native theatre company at
the Alaska Native Heritage Center truly becomes a public event. The
ANHC proudly presents "Raven's Radio Hour: 90 minutes of fun, fun, fun, fun
. . . a two hours show," a gleeful romp through the Alaska Native world in
the style of a 40s variety radio show. Starring Raven, played by Alaska
Native storyteller Jack Dalton, and featuring the Alaska Native Heritage
Players: Christina Gagnon, Ethan Petticrew and Allison Warden.

And there's more! It's also a dinner theatre, well, perhaps "cafe" or "deli"
theatre is a better description. Truly entertaining light fare and Native
favorites, like caribou stew, salmon spread with Sailorboy Pilotbread, and a
variety of desserts, including Marge's World Famous Agutaq.
Showtimes are Sundays through Wednesdays, August 17 to September 16, at 7pm.
Tickets are $20 per person. Seating is cabaret-style and limited, so
advanced reservations required. The show is about 120 minutes with a
15-minute intermission, and not recommended for childen under the age of
16.
Please share with all your friends, relatives and colleagues! And I look
forward to seeing as many of you there as possible.
Thank you again for all of your support.
Jack.

  1. I went to the show this evening (August 19th) and thoroughly enjoyed it! If you have friends who are Native (and I do!) you will recognize many of them in the stage characters. The show tells many of the Raven legends woven with humor, dancing, singing and incredibly talented cast members who move seamlessly between roles.

    My only disappointment was that the akutuq was made with yogurt and not seal oil (or even Crisco). Fie on the Health Department!
