River Rep Theater - The Thanksgiving Play

Hits : 703

For its final production of the 2024 season, River Rep Theatre presents MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s hit comedy THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, which follows a troupe of (very) well-intentioned theater people as they scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. Rambunctious, thorny and not quite politically correct, THE THANKSGIVING PLAY serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big, family-style, platter. Get ready to laugh, gasp and have a smorgasbord of things to talk about!

“Very, very funny. The Thanksgiving Play skewers liberal pretensions with glee – 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

Featuring Arthur Aulisi, Amy Laird Webb, Josh Liveright, Lexee McEntee and James Sullivan. Written by Larissa FastHorse. Directed by Christopher Peditto. Costumes by Alyena Galvin-Bliefernich.
