Looking for Tiger Lily (Memoir)
An Indigiqueer artist grows up seeing redface in Peter Pan and pop culture—until finding true representation and power through their ancestors and drag.
“I want my story to teach people about queerness, misrepresentation, and ongoing colonization, but mostly I hope it helps folks like me feel less alone.”
Anthony Hudson is a Grand Ronde and Siletz artist, writer, and former clown.

Anthony’s writing has appeared in American Theatre, BOMB Magazine, The Portland Mercury, Willamette Week, Buckman Journal, Oregon ArtsWatch, and Arts and International Affairs. His first book, Lamp Back: Plays and Other Grievances, will be published in October 2026 by Northwestern University Press.
