Mischief
January 15 – February 8, 2026
Brooke is perfectly content with her job selling cigarettes to the local fisherman at her uncle’s convenience store on the Rez. But what happens when a woman appears in a utility closet and claims to have known her mother? And where can she turn when one act of mischief derails her peace?
A heartwarming story where ancestry and the cost of justice collide, Mischief is a gentle comedy from lauded Mi’kmaw artist Lisa Nasson that celebrates the power of community.
