WMU Theatre presents The Thanksgiving Play

Posted by Emily Duguay for Theatre

Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.

“This clever satire is something for which to be truly thankful.” – Hollywood Reporter

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