by Larissa FastHorse
- Directed by Eric Thibodeaux-Thompson
- Scenic Design and Technical Direction by Dathan Powell
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.
~ from the Concord Theatricals/Samuel French Acting Edition back cover of the play
“The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting from expert farceurs.”
~ The New York Times
“A satirical and visual punch.”
~ New York Stage Review
“Very, very funny. Larissa FastHorse’s The Thanksgiving Play skewers liberal pretensions with glee – this clever satire is something for which to be truly thankful.”
~ Hollywood Reporter
