The Thanksgiving Play
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. "The Thanksgiving Play" premiered off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in New York City on October 12, 2018.

Praise for this book
Very, very funny... 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.
