Good intentions collided with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambled to create a pageant that somehow managed to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. This hit play was written by Larissa FastHorse, making her the first Native American woman playwright produced on Broadway.
