SUMMARY:Ghent Playhouse presents the satirical comedy “The Thanksgiving Play”
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact: Cathy Lee-Visscher, Ghent Playhouse Artistic Director\n(518) 755-9278, cathyleevisscher@gmail.com\n\nGhent Playhouse presents the satirical comedy “The Thanksgiving Play”\nTWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS: OCTOBER 17-19 AND 24-26\n\n[GHENT, NY] The Ghent Playhouse announces the first production of its 2025-26 season, “The Thanksgiving Play.” Written by Larissa FastHorse and directed by Brian Wagner, this satirical comedy centers around a group of well-meaning but culturally insensitive theater artists who attempt to create a politically correct school play about the first Thanksgiving. The show will run Friday through Sunday, October 17-26. The freshly painted Ghent Playhouse is located at 6 Town Hall Place. Tickets go on sale September 1 and can be purchased at GhentPlayhouse.org.\n\n“You may wonder why a show called ‘The Thanksgiving Play’ is being performed in early October. The show isn’t really about Thanksgiving, instead it explores broader themes of racism and how history is remembered,” said Ghent Playhouse Artistic Director Cathy Lee-Visscher. “We’re excited to perform this relatively new play, it premiered in 2018, by the first known female Native American writer to have a play on Broadway, Larissa FastHorse.”\n\nIn this wickedly funny satire, good intentions collide with absurd assumptions. The show challenges: When is being politically correct not helpful or actively harmful? And is it even possible to promote different cultures without including the voices of people from those cultures?\n\n“The Thanksgiving Play” runs two consecutive weekends: October 17-19 and 24-26, Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm and Sunday matinee at 2:00pm. Tickets are available online only beginning September 1: $23 for members, $28 for nonmembers, and $12 for students. Tickets and memberships can be purchased at GhentPlayhouse.org ( http://ghentplayhouse.org/ )with no additional processing fees. For more information about this show and other upcoming events, visit ghentplayhouse.org ( http://ghentplayhouse.org/ ), email info@ghentplayhouse.org ( mailto:info@ghentplayhouse.org ) or call (518) 392-6264.\n\nThe Ghent Playhouse is an award-winning, non-profit, volunteer-run community theater drawing talent from the Hudson Valley and beyond. The historic building is equipped with comfortable seating, modern accessible restrooms and air conditioning, in addition to a set shop, dressing rooms, kitchenette, costume storage and sophisticated lighting and sound systems.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
