The Thanksgiving Play is a satirical comedy that revolves around four white individuals attempting to create a politically correct pageant to celebrate both Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month. Larissa FastHorse, the playwright, is the first Native American woman known to have a play produced on Broadway. The play exposes the way history has been and continues to be told, even by well-meaning people, in ways that perpetuate a false narrative.
The show includes adult themes, and at times a graphic parody of the way history has been told, presented to illustrate the absurd. The Thanksgiving Play is not recommended for children.
Tickets are FREE and available on a first come, first seated basis. The building opens one hour prior to the show time. Seating begin 30 minutes before the show.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. Centenary Church. 501 S. 2nd Street, the corner of 2nd and Cherry, downtown Mankato.
