The Thanksgiving Play, written by Larissa Fasthorse, presents a satirical comedy that explores the challenges faced by four well-meaning but culturally insensitive white theater artists as they attempt to create a politically correct elementary school play about the first Thanksgiving. Under the direction of Jared Thomas Johnson, the production highlights their struggle with biases and the lack of Native representation, aiming to shed light on serious subjects through humor. The play is part of Theatre Memphis' commitment to showcasing diverse voices and engaging with relevant community issues.
