About
The Thanksgiving Play is a satirical comedy written by Larissa FastHorse. The play centers around a group of four well-meaning but culturally insensitive white theater artists who attempt to create a politically correct elementary school play about the first Thanksgiving while struggling with their own biases and the lack of Native American representation. In 2018, the play had its world premiere at the Artists Repertory Theatre, in Portland, Oregon. It then made its off-Broadway debut at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater in 2018. In 2023, The Thanksgiving Play premiered on Broadway at the Hayes Theater.
