Topical and Playful. In this satirical comedy, a group of four well-meaning but culturally insensitive white theatre artists attempt to create a politically correct elementary school play about the first Thanksgiving. They struggle with their own biases and the lack of Native representation to fulfill their goal of “appropriately” telling the story commonly reduced to stereotypes. This play is in our season as a direct result of Theatre Memphis’ Read to Relate program.*
