SHOW SYNOPSIS
Larissa FastHorse's The Thanksgiving Play is a razor-sharp contemporary comedy about four well-intentioned theater artists who set out to create the "perfect" culturally sensitive Thanksgiving pageant for elementary school students. The problem? None of them can agree on what that means. As their attempts to honor history become increasingly complicated, awkward, and absurd, the group finds themselves tangled in questions of representation, identity, privilege, and storytelling.
Winner of multiple national awards and the first play by a Native American woman produced on Broadway, The Thanksgiving Play is a fast-paced ensemble comedy filled with wit, heart, physical comedy, and richly layered characters. At its core, it is a play about people trying their best, failing spectacularly, and discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves along the way.
CHARACTER LIST
LOGAN- The dedicated high school drama teacher, community organizer, and self-appointed champion of social
justice. She is intelligent, passionate, and relentlessly determined. She genuinely wants to do the right thing but
often pushes the envelope too far.
JAXTON- The yoga practitioner / actor. He is politically correct to a fault, a big one. He’s that confident guy
everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns.
ALICIA- The pretty, brunette, professional actress whose appearance leads others to make assumptions about
her identity in a way that would have meant she was cast as ethnic in 1950s era Hollywood. She is without guile,
a bit naive, and not the most analytical of people.
CADEN- The academic / actor. He’s an awkward elementary school history teacher with dramatic aspirations, but
no experience.
