The Ghosts of Celilo (suh-LIE-low) is a musical play based on true events that happened near Celilo Falls in the 1950s. Celilo was one of the world’s premiere fisheries and a cultural and spiritual center for native people before it was inundated by the Dalles Dam in 1957.

This ground-breaking production weaves a bittersweet love story within a mystery and features a haunting score of Native American music and traditional musical theatre songs. The Ghosts of Celilo is a collaborative dramatic production developed, written, and composed during the last 10 years by Marv Ross, Thomas Morning Owl (Umatilla), Chenoa Egawa (Lummi), Arlie Neshakhi (Navajo), and Tom Hampson. Greg Tamblyn joined this group several years ago as the director of The Ghosts of Celilo.
