Hilarious. I saw this is supposed to be on Broadway next year. Would love to see it.

The Thanksgiving Play is the best kind of satire-funny, smart, and biting. Taking shots at all-white school Thanksgiving plays, “woke” Americans, and the entertainment industry, this will become one I read every year. The second play, What Would Crazy Horse Do, was strange, surprising, and a bit upsetting. This is my first read of Fasthorse and ail quite bowled over by her skill and voice. #NativeReads #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

sarahbellum Thank you so much for posting about this play! I had never heard of it, but it sounded right up my alley, so I listened to it today on Hoopla and found it delightful. I hope you and your family had a great holiday! 2y

This was a funny, quick satire. Four white people try to write and put on a play that celebrates both Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month. The result is painfully hilarious.

Every time I read a play I think I would rather have seen it staged, although in this case the humor might run a little further to the cringe-inducing than I would like to see live.

TheBookStacker Well you sold me on this! Seems like a perfect thanksgiving lockdown read! 4y
effani @TheBookStacker Yay! I hope you enjoy it! 4y
