In this dark comedy directed by SET company member Emory John Collinson, two couples come together to resolve a playground fight between their children. But, as the conversation progresses, maturity and civility give way to anger and mayhem.

After their 11-year-old son hits another boy with a stick, Alan and Annette Raleigh (SET members Matt Radcliffe and Jenny Maloney) visit Michael and Veronica Novak (SET members Adam Stepan and Tiffany Dahl) to resolve the matter. What begins as diplomatic conversation turns sour as the adults pull no punches, proving no one is immune from a playground brawl. 

 

The Thanksgiving Play follows a group of four white theatre artists attempting to devise a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving pageant for Native American Heritage Month. Do they know anything about Native American culture or history? Not a bit. As the characters grapple with issues of political correctness, privilege, and representation, the production exposes the pitfalls of performative activism with humor and biting wit.

Directed by SET member Kate Hertz, this riotous satire by Native American playwright Larissa Fasthorse is a comedy that both entertains and provokes important questions about how we tell stories—and who gets to tell them.

Recommended for ages 13+
