Three really, REALLY well-meaning teachers and one actress walk into a school. The work at hand: a Thanksgiving pageant that won’t ruffle any feathers. What could possibly go wrong? Well, just about everything. Rambunctious, thorny and not altogether politically correct, The Thanksgiving Play serves up the hypocrisies of woke America on a big, family-style, platter. The American origin story is in the comedy-crosshairs in the New Hampshire premiere of MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s groundbreaking satire, which had an exhilarating 2023 run on Broadway.

Following the December 3 matinee performance, audience members can join a post-show conversation with local indigenous individuals and the creative team. They will dive into the play's themes exploring the influence of stereotypes and misunderstandings in social interactions, and celebrate the indigenous communities here in New Hampshire today.
