Thanks for Sharing – celebrate Thanksgiving in true Theatre R.A.W. style at Santa Monica Playhouse

A hundred fifty-year-old Thanksgiving tradition. An annual reunion. A family meal, laced with just a touch of greed, a pinch of jealousy, under-currants (sic) of coming out and moving in, a smidgeon of rebellion, a dash of separation anxiety and anticipation, and a soupçon of K-Pop. What could possibly go wrong?

Admission includes post-show wine and Thanksgiving nibbles reception with the cast.
