WINDOW ROCK — Audiences have known Ernest Tsosie III for years now for being one-half of the Navajo comedy duo James & Ernie and for his roles in movies such as Mile Post 398 and Blue Gap Boyz, but Tsosie showed another side of his talent with the play “This House of My Pain” Tuesday evening at the Navajo Nation Museum.

The theme of the one-act play, which was written and directed by Tsosie, is forgiveness. It stars Tsosie as Tommy Freeman and co-stars Reginald Mitchell, Natasha Kaye Johnson and Christopher Samora.
