The Thanksgiving Play
by Larissa FastHorse
Directed by Tara Moses
Isn't it time we rethink Thanksgiving? That's the question on the table when four politically correct performers get together to create a new take on the traditional holiday pageant. Good intentions turn into outright tension as the group struggles to re-envision history, all without ruffling any feathers. Rambunctious, wild, and fearless, The Thanksgiving Play serves up history and humor with a steaming side dish of uniquely American hypocrisy. Are you ready to eat your words?

Partial View Seats:
If a performance for this production becomes sold out, Arrow Street Arts will open additional seats that are considered “partial view,” meaning part of the action on stage may be obstructed at certain points during the show. This applies to the first two seats in each row (101 + 102), as well as the last four seats (117 and up in rows A, C, E, G, and J; 116 and up in rows B, D, F, and H). These tickets will be sold at a discounted rate of $35 per ticket.
Accessible Seats:
Row A is on the main floor level and is accessible to those who use wheelchairs and other mobility devices, those who are unable to climb steps, and patrons who are low-vision/require front row seating for any other reason. Each row beginning with Row B requires climbing steps as indicated on the seat selection page. Row A will have theater chairs provided for those who need accessible seats and their companions with the exception of wheelchair locations (designated in blue on the seating selection chart).
