Larissa FastHorse’s shocking and hilarious satire flips the bird on one of America's most prolific myths.

An elementary school teacher eagerly tries to create a school pageant about the first Thanksgiving - one that challenges stereotypes, meets all the requirements of a Native American Heritage Month grant, and pacifies the parents. Wanting to avoid any culturally appropriative missteps, three “woke” white actors quickly find themselves sabotaged by myth, confounded by history, and drawn into a hysterical roast of absurd assumptions and well-intended political correctness.

“Very, very funny... this clever satire is something for which to be truly thankful.” – Hollywood Reporter

“The familiar, whitewashed story of Pilgrims and Native Americans chowing down together gets a delicious roasting.” – The New York Times

“A satirical and visual punch.” – New York Stage Review
