The Party
Join Curious for an evening you won’t soon forget. Punctuated by the Opening Night performance of the hilarious The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa FastHorse, the evening will feature fall nibbles and seasonal drinks included in your ticket price. Be sure to pick up a mystery box or enter to win a three night vacation in Durango during the pre-show cocktail hour. Then after the show, join the artists for an Opening Night reception with more good food and drinks.
The Play
Ah, Thanksgiving, that most American of holidays: when families gather to bask in the bounty of the harvest, football, giant balloons — and a legacy of genocide and violent colonial expansion. Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire as a troupe of terminally “woke” teaching artists trip all over themselves to create a politically correct, yet historically accurate, yet dramatically revolutionary, yet accurately represented and responsibly cast Thanksgiving play for elementary schools…all the while navigating aspirations to be successful actors – but not commercially successful – and overall unproblematic white people.
