Show Notes

When it comes to political correctness, who gets the final edit?  Through her comic sensibilities and believable depictions of today's so-called "wokeness," playwright Larissa FastHorse reveals the folly of a white theatre group constructing an elementary school Thanksgiving message which may or may not include Native Americans. We're talking about The Thanksgiving Play! (Published by Theatre Communications Group). Topics include: Lack of Native American representation in theatre, erasure of Indigenous history, and the myth of the first Thanksgiving.

Produced and hosted by Nathan Inzerillo and Nikki Jacobs.
