Episode 9 - The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse
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.
Theme song written and performed by Nathan Inzerillo and Nikki Jacobs.
