What:
Described as a satirical comedy, The Thanksgiving Play follows a troupe of well-meaning theater artists who "dream of creating something revolutionary: a culturally sensitive, totally inoffensive Thanksgiving school pageant that finally gives a voice to Native Americans. Finding said Native Americans… isn't so simple. And that's when things start to get absurd. Sending up a whole feast of social issues, this bitingly funny play roasts everything right, wrong, and woke in America."
-Deadline Magazine
FastHorse is a Macarthur fellow who is the first Native American playwright to have a work (Thanksgiving Play) as one of the top ten produced plays in the country. It is going to have its Broadway debut directed by Hadestown's Rachel Chavkin in a few months. It brings up important issues that are very relevant to our communities here in Johnson and we want you to be a part of the conversation.
