The Thanksgiving Play

The Thanksgiving Play

by Larissa Fasthorse. Featuring Christina Duffman, Steven Lamprinos, Chloe Tatum, and Cliff Murden

Performances: Saturday, October 5, 2024 at 7:00pm & Sunday, October 6, 2024 at 2:30pm

Good intentions. Bad decisions. Great fun. In Larissa Fast Horse’s satirical comedy The Thanksgiving Play, a troupe of really well-meaning theater artists dream of creating something revolutionary: a culturally sensitive, totally inoffensive Thanksgiving school pageant that finally gives a voice to Native Americans. Finding said Native Americans… isn’t so simple. And that’s when things start to get absurd. Sending up a whole feast of social issues, this bitingly funny play roasts everything right, wrong, and woke in America.
