UP Theater is proud to present The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse, playing in the Mago Hunt Theater from November 12-16, 2025!
Four well-meaning theatre people are tasked with the creation of a Thanksgiving pageant for children that won’t ruffle any feathers. What could possibly go wrong? Playwright and MacArthur Fellow Larissa FastHorse, (the first known female Indigenous playwright on Broadway!) guides us through a farcical roast of the politics of entertainment and political correctness alike. The Thanksgiving Play, which premiered in Portland at Artists Repertory Theater in 2018, puts the American origin story itself in the comedy-crosshairs. 🎭
The Thanksgiving Play is directed by Phillip Ray Guevara, Portland theater artist and UP adjunct professor.
