Join us for this one night special screening of 2002’s The Business of Fancydancing. Writer and Director Sherman Alexie will be live at Vashon Theatre to lead a Q&A following the film!

Since their high school graduation, former Spokane Reservation best friends Seymour (Evan Adams, Smoke Signals) and Aristotle (Gene Tagaban) have taken different paths. Both ventured off to college in Seattle, but while Seymour embraced the opportunities of the white world, Aristotle returned home embittered. Sixteen years later, they are brought together following the sudden death of an old childhood buddy. Seymour, now an openly gay poet and unofficial spokesman for Native American, is met with resentment on “the rez.” As the wake, tensions are heightened, and Aristotle’s long festering bitterness is dangerously exposed.
