  3. The Thanksgiving Play


The Thanksgiving Play explores a group of white teachers who enthusiastically plan to create a respectful and politically correct Thanksgiving play for their schoolchildren. After winning a grant to hire a Native American actress,  mayhem and hilarity ensue when the actress turns out to be a white lady with a tan. 

Playwright Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota Nation) is a 2020 MacArthur Fellow, and The Thanksgiving Play will open at the Hayes Theater on Broadway in spring 2023.

 

The Thanksgiving Play features Stacy Stauffer (Logan), Ryan Adair (Jaxton), Kassidy Renee (Alicia), and Andrew Sarkozy (Caden).

“The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting from expert farceurs.” - NY Times.

Arlene Foreman generously sponsors The Thanksgiving Play.
