FVI on YouTube

Most of our shows (barring technical difficulties) get posted to our YouTube channel. However, the Uncensored part of UnProv isn’t always appreciated by YouTube. They like to demonetize channels that swear, but we’re not scared! We don’t have enough subscribers to be monetized in the first place!

Clover Club Jazz

A man in a black suit plays an acoustic guitar while seated on a gray couch, looking intently off to the side. A woman wearing a black dress stands next to him, gazing confidently at the camera in a well-lit, stylish interior.

Clover Club, the Minneapolis jazz duo featuring vocalist Victoria Temiz and guitarist Carl Johnson, brings a fresh yet authentically jazzy sound to the scene. Their repertoire, deeply rooted in the jazz tradition, echoes the intimate, laid-back style of Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Pass, with a twist.

825 Arts

Now running Wednesday through Sunday until December 21: New Native Theatre, presents A Christmas in Ochopee, a heartfelt holiday comedy set deep in the Florida Everglades during one unforgettable Christmas. With fry bread, family feuds, and a memorable gator that may or may not hold the spirit of a beloved rez dog, the Weetley family navigates love, and loud uncles under one roof. Full of sharp Native humor, culture, and heart, playwright Montana Cypress brings us a holiday play that speaks to the beauty and chaos of rez life.
Find more information on dates and times at the 825 Arts Website.
