WILMINGTON — In celebration of Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month, a local production company is preparing for the debut of a satirical production, penned by an Indigenous American playwright.
“The Thanksgiving Play” by Larissa FastHorse opens Nov. 7 and runs weekends through Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m. except for 2 p.m. matinees on Sunday, at Thalian Hall’s Ruth and Bucky Stein Theater. It’s produced by Big Dawg Productions.
FastHorse is of the Sicangu Lakota Nation and is an award-winning writer and 2020-2025 MacArthur Fellow. Her play revels in absurdity and takes aim at the hypocrisies of woke America, tackling second-grade Thanksgiving pageants, colonialism, Native American representation, gender relations, history, turkey bowling, and more.
Tickets are $35 here.
