Show Description:
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions as two terminally woke teaching artists, one fact-obsessed wannabe playwright, and a Hollywood actress with no agenda whatsoever, scramble to create a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving pageant for elementary school children — with no Native Americans involved. Set in a high school drama classroom anywhere but Los Angeles, The Thanksgiving Play is a sharp and hilariously uncomfortable look at the spectacular gap between good intentions and good sense, people who mean well and fumble everything, and the absurdity of trying to do the right thing in all the wrong ways.
