The Thanksgiving Play

In The Thanksgiving Play, Larissa FastHorse, a 2020 MacArthur Fellow, has written what she calls a "comedy in a satire" with "a little bit of medicine that's going to go down with the laughs.

A small group of abundantly earnest teaching artists devise a Thanksgiving pageant that attempts to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. While striving to be culturally sensitive, the angst-ridden thespians find themselves wrestling with history, myth, and their own biases as they descend into a hilarious cornucopia of political correctness.
