THE THANKSGIVING PLAY

BY

LARISSA FASTHORSE

DIRECTED BY

RACHEL CHAVKIN

WITH

D’ARCY CARDEN, KATIE FINNERAN, SCOTT FOLEY, CHRIS SULLIVAN

MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s shocking satire flips the bird on one of America's most prolific myths. THE THANKSGIVING PLAY arrives on Broadway in a funny and raw new production directed by Tony Award winner Rachel Chavkin (Hadestown, Great Comet). When a troupe of really, really well-meaning theater artists attempt to put on a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving school pageant, things get messy. Hilarious and poignant, this delicious play skewers everything right, wrong, and woke in America. The Hollywood Reporter raves, “It’s uproarious, clever and very, very funny! Something for which to be truly thankful.”

THE THANKSGIVING PLAY is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
