The Thanksgiving Play
By Larissa FastHorse
Directed by Rachel Price Cooper
November 3-19, 2022
What happens when a vegan, a street performer, and an elementary school history teacher attempt to devise a play that tells the "truth" about one of America’s most beloved founding mythologies? Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions as this troupe of terminally progressive teaching artists scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.
