The Thanksgiving Play at L.A. Theatre Works

The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse - Liza Weil (Gilmore Girls, How to Get Away with Murder) and Josh Stamberg (Drop Dead Diva, Parenthood, The Affair) star in the newest L.A. Theatre Works state-of-the-art audio recording, a biting satire by newly-named MacArthur Fellow FastHorse. A roast of well-meaning political correctness, The Thanksgiving Play puts the American origin story in the comedy-crosshairs: Three "woke," white thespians are tasked with devising an elementary school pageant about the first Thanksgiving, while avoiding any culturally appropriative missteps. The cast also features LATW regulars Ellis Greer and Mark Jude Sullivan. Directed by Rosalind Ayres, the LATW recording, which will be released just in time for the holiday, will include a virtual interview with playwright Larissa Fasthorse by LATW producing artistic director Susan Albert Loewenberg.
