The Thankgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse
This event has passed.
As part of its exciting 2023/2024 season, GableStage presents the regional premiere of The Thanksgiving Play, a satire by Native American playwright Larissa Fasthorse. The play follows four characters as they attempt to write and perform a well-intentioned, historically accurate school play retelling the first Thanksgiving. With provocative questions around erasure and authorship of history, this comedy asks how we proceed when steadfast assumptions are disrupted.
Larissa FastHorse of the Sicangu Lakota Nation is an award-winning writer and choreographer as well as the first Native American woman to have a play produced on Broadway.
