Salmonpeople is theatre so sly it’s like going out to dinner with Robin Williams, Garrison Keillor and Johnny Appleseed; a homespun tapestry of character insight, good science, good humor and astounding freehand cartography. Known as the Bioregional Bard of Salmon Nation, Peter Donaldson has given 34 performances in 23 towns garnering spontaneous standing ovations every time. Salmonpeople is being produced in collaboration with over twenty organizations and is sponsored by Sage, the Suquamish Community Foundation, and Trout Unlimited Bainbridge Chapter.

Salmonpeople is recommended for family audiences, but the complexity of the story is best for ages 10 and up.
