ABOUT THE SHOW
A groundbreaking satire straight from Broadway with the American origin story in its comedy-crosshairs.
SEPTEMBER 1 - 10 (2 Weeks ONLY!)
By LARISSA FASTHORSE
Directed by RAZ GOLDEN
See one of Broadway’s newest plays in Dorset! MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s shocking and hilarious satire flips the bird on one of America's most prolific myths.
An undeterred elementary school teacher desperately attempts to devise a pageant about the first Thanksgiving - one that challenges stereotypes, meets all the requirements of a Native American Heritage Month grant, and pacifies the parents. Wanting to avoid any culturally appropriative missteps, three “woke” white thespians quickly find themselves sabotaged by myth, confounded by history, and drawn into a hysterical roast of the politics of entertainment and well-meaning political correctness alike. The American origin story is in the comedy-crosshairs In Larissa FastHorse’s groundbreaking satire.
“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.”
— FRANK SCHECK, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
