Flying Anvil Theatre — The Thanksgiving Play
David Ratliff directs this contemporary satire by Larissa Fasthorse that features Mitch Moore, Celeste Pelletier, David Hutto and Amber Collins Crane.
“Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa FastHorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.”
There is a preview performance on Wednesday, November 10, the opening night is on Thursday, November 11; then continues Thursdays – Sundays through November 28. Evening performances are at 7:30 PM; Sunday performances are at 2:00 PM.
