"Cold Case," a powerful new play by Emmy-nominated Iñupiaq playwright Cathy Tagnak Rexford, brings to light the grief, bureaucracy, and lack of support faced by families when a loved one goes missing or is killed. Set in rural Alaska, it tells the story of a young woman’s struggle to recover her aunt’s body from an Anchorage morgue, reflecting the heartbreaking crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous people. Premiered in Juneau, "Cold Case" comes to Anchorage this October.

“Cold Case,” written by a playwright with roots in Arctic Alaska, premiered this month in Juneau and is coming to Anchorage next month.
