Don't miss THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, a unique, comedi

Don't miss THE THANKSGIVING PLAY, a unique, comedic satire produced by the Fort Lewis Theatre Department and directed by PlayFest Artistic Director Felicia Lansbury Meyer.

SYNOPSIS: Good intentions clash with absurd assumptions in Sicangu Lakota Nation Playwright Larissa Fasthorse’s wickedly funny satire. Join a troupe of teaching artists as they scramble to create a grade school pageant that celebrates both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month.
