The Thanksgiving Play (2023)

Larissa FastHorse’s brilliant contemporary satirical comedy farce 'The Thanksgiving Play' arrived at the Helen Hayes Theatre in 2023 under the auspices of the Second Stage Theatre, making history as the very first Broadway play written by a female Native American playwright. The breathless farcical plot unfolds entirely inside a dreary public school classroom, tracking four well-meaning, hyper-progressive white theater artists who handle severe existential anxiety as they struggle to construct an culturally sensitive holiday pageant, directed with precise timing by Rachel Chavkin.
