MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorses hit comedy THE THANKSGIVING PLAY follows a troupe of (very) well-intentioned theater people as they scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. Rambunctious, thorny and not quite politically correct, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big, family-style, platter. Get ready to laugh, gasp and have a smorgasbord of things to talk about!
The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting from expert farceurs. The New York Times
