Upcoming Productions
The Thanksgiving Play | November 15–16 & 22–23, 2024 | 7:00 pm
by Larissa Fasthorse
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Larissa Fasthorse’s wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scrambles to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. In 2023, Larissa Fasthorse was the first Native American playwright produced on Broadway.
Please note: The November 15, 16, and 23 dates will be held in the the Little Theater on Peninsula College's Port Angeles Campus. The November 22 date will be held at the Field Arts & Events Hall in Downtown Port Angeles. General admission tickets are $20 and will be sold at the door only. Current Peninsula College students receive free admission to the Little Theater dates only.
