PCS Theater presents The Thanksgiving Play, a sharp satire by Larissa FastHorse, running from November 14 to 29, 2025. This comedy centers on a group of well-meaning teaching artists attempting to create a holiday pageant that respects both Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month, while grappling with themes of cultural appropriation and allyship. Directed by Natalie Payán, the production features a cast led by Taylor Kellar, Nolan Maher, Amelia (Lee) Talbot, and Ethan Goonewardene, alongside a dynamic supporting ensemble. The play invites audiences to reflect on the complexities of good intentions and societal expectations through humor and thoughtful critique.
