Thanksgiving, considered a cherished American holiday, is often thought of as a time when families gather to celebrate the warmth of home and the bounty of the harvest. But do they also consider a legacy of genocide and violent colonial expansion? A grant-funded theatre troupe of white actors believe that they can possibly use the power of theatre to tell a more truthful version of the Thanksgiving story. Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa Fasthorse's wickedly funny satire as a troupe of terminally "woke" teaching artists scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. "The Thanksgiving Play" was one of the most produced shows of 2019/2020, and it finally comes to Columbia (and the entire country) by way of a ticketed on-demand production.
