Summary
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. In short, the familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans sitting down for dinner together gets a delicious farcical roasting.
Originally from South Dakota and an enrolled member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, Lakota Nation, Larissa FastHorse is an acclaimed playwright, director, and choreographer.
