Luckey says he hopes the show will “provide a holistic experience of the land itself as it exists now, along with the history.”  Luckey has been commissioned to perform his show throughout the country at high schools, universities and conferences.  You can catch the performance live at La Pena where Luckey will host the 3rd Annual Thangs Taken: Rethinking Thanksgiving featuring music, hip hop theater, art, poetry, and film.

If you can’t make it to La Pena, that is alright, you can still catch his act here.  Watch the slide show below.  We would love to get your comments.
