The Thanksgiving Play
Written by Larissa FastHorse
Directed by Shana Gozansky
November 21 - 23, 2025
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.
THE THANKSGIVING PLAY is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com
Tickets are FREE and open to the public. Click here for tickets.
