2. The Thanksgiving Play

Four (very) well-intentioned theatre people walk into an elementary school. The work at hand: a Thanksgiving pageant that won’t ruffle any feathers. What could possibly go wrong? In MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s skewering and satirical comedy, well, just about everything. Rambunctious, thorny and not altogether politically correct, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big, family-style platter. Featuring some of San Diego’s finest theatrical comedians: Kenny Bordieri, Samantha Ginn, AJ Knox, and Erica Marie Weisz. In producing this show, we are honored to welcome our first Native American playwright to the Ray Charles Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre at the Dea Hurston New Village Arts Center. THE THANKSGIVING PLAY will run October 12th through November 3rd. Previews will happen on October 4-11th, with an Opening Night Reception on October 12th, 2024.
