In this episode READ MORE PLAYS hosts Ricardo Frederick Evans and Jennifer Sassaman, discuss the show The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse. Theme music by Kalyn Harewood, with additional music by Bob Sassaman.

Plot Overview:
The Thanksgiving Play is a story about a small group of very PC artists coming together to write a 45 minute, 3-person play that will break down the myths and stereotypes of Thanksgiving and celebrate Native American Heritage month for elementary school audiences. They want to create a revolution in the minds of their young audiences, but the creative process is stymied at every turn by their contortions to avoid doing or saying anything controversial.
