The Arts at VWU

The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse with performances in the Brock Theatre, Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center, at 7:30 p.m. November 14 and 15 and 2 p.m. November 16.

This satirical, joyful, absurd comedy is about four well-meaning white artists trying to stage a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving pageant without any Native voices.  The play highlights the blind spots of good intentions and the deeper question of who gets to tell the story.
