- The Thanksgiving Play at Chadron State College’s Memorial Hall, 7 p.m.; The CSC Theatre Program presents The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse at the Memorial Hall Black Box Theatre. How does one celebrate Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Month at the same time? In Larissa FastHorse’s biting satire, this is the question facing three “woke” white thespians tasked with devising an elementary school pageant about the first Thanksgiving while avoiding any culturally appropriative missteps. A roast of the politics of entertainment and well-meaning political correctness alike, The Thanksgiving Play puts the American origin story itself in the comedy-crosshairs.
