Podcasts about thanksgiving play

“The Thanksgiving Play” is a play about the making of a play. Four performers struggle to devise a Thanksgiving performance that's respectful of Native peoples, historically accurate (while not too grim for white audiences), and also inclusive to the actors themselves. A train wreck ensues. “First it's fun. . . . You get to have a good time in the theatre. I would say that's the sugar, and then there's the medicine,” the playwright Larissa FastHorse tells the staff writer Vinson Cunningham. “The satire is the medicine, and you have to keep taking it.” FastHorse was born into the Sicangu Lakota Nation, and was adopted as a child into a white family. She is the first Native American woman to have a play produced on Broadway. “When I was younger, it was very painful to be separated from a lot of things that I felt like I couldn't partake in because I wasn't raised on the reservation or had been away from my Lakota family so long,” she says. “But now I really recognize it as my superpower that I can take Lakota culture . . . and contemporary Indigenous experiences and translate them for white audiences, which unfortunately are still the majority of audiences in American theatre.”This segment originally aired on April 14, 2023. Plus, earlier this year, the author and essayist Ayelet Waldman wrote an essay for The New Yorker about taking up a new hobby. Trying to cope with intensely stressful news, Waldman dove head first into teaching herself how to quilt. “I would get up in the morning, I would go to the sewing machine. I would quilt all day and then I'd go to sleep. It wasn't like I was checking out; I was still very much involved and invested in what was going on,” she told the producer Jeffrey Masters. “But somehow I could tolerate it while I was using my hands, and I decided I want to know how and why.” Waldman talked with neuroscientists about the reason that certain brain activities seem to relax us. And to her surprise, it wasn't hard to find hours each day, in the life of a busy writer, to pursue a new vocation. “Honestly,” she admits, “I was literally spending that time on the Internet.”

A deep dive into theatrical superstitions, plus checking in with Kate Hertz at Springs Ensemble Theatre and our Top 10 Colorado Headliners   In this week's episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Toni Tresca and Alex Miller stop to wonder what's behind theatrical myths like not saying “Macbeth” in a theatre or not whistling around the stage.  Later in the episode, Alex interviews Kate Hertz, who's directing the Springs Ensemble Theatre production of The Thanksgiving Play. The show runs Nov. 14-24 and Hertz speaks about her directorial debut, what SET is all about and what this play has to say about the risks of trying to depict the challenges of another ethnic group.

It's the story of some high school teachers charged with writing a play that celebrates the Thanksgiving story but is culturally sensitive. The result is anything but, when they bring in a Native … Continue reading

You know that old quote about how the road to hell is paved with good intentions? That pretty much sums up “The Thanksgiving Play” by Larissa FastHorse. It's a cringe comedy that follows a group of well-meaning white theatre nerds as they desperately try to create a politically correct Thanksgiving show, without the guidance of an Indigenous person. Larissa joins Tom to talk about the inspiration for the play, performative activism in the theatre world, and how wanting to be seen as doing the right thing isn't actually the same as doing the right thing.

A sleepaway camp designed for and by Indigenous theater aficionados is being held at Portland State University July 29 through August 2. The 26 students in attendance will live in the dorms and attend daily theater trainings as well as college prep sessions. The students also get to meet and work with Native staff on campus. By the end of the week-long camp, students showcase their work in a variety of ways: some will act in student-written plays, some will create writing or art projects and others will perform in a short media project which is pitched by students then edited by camp staff. This is the fourth year of the camp, which has been held at different college campuses across the west coast. Last year, some of the students had the opportunity to participate in the Broadway production of “The Thanksgiving Play” by Larissa FastHorse. The camp has previously been held at University of Nevada at Reno, UC Berkeley and Southern Oregon University. Jeanette Harrison, co-founder of the theater camp for Native youth and creative director of Bag and Baggage’s Native theater project, joins us to share more. Returning campers Gia Fisher and Niyla Willow also join us. Fisher will be performing in “Diné Nishłį (i am a sacred being) Or, A Boarding School Play” by Blossom Johnson and directed by Harrison. The play will tour throughout the greater Portland area this September.

Larissa FastHorse's satire, The Thanksgiving Play, focuses on four well-meaning white people trying to put on a politically correct school production for Native American history month. She spoke with Tonya Mosley about diversifying Broadway, her rewrite of Peter Pan, and changes she suggested for the Macy's Thanksgving Day Parade.

On today's show, Eden Hill discusses "The Thanksgiving Play," an anti-"woke" satire, exploring its purpose and implications. Later, Senator Shannon Grove discusses Governor Newsom signing Senator Grove's bill to increase penalties for sex trafficking of children. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Eden Gordon Hill is a strategic communications professional at EdenGordonMedia.com, a radio host for The All-American Book Club, and a former senior advisor for communications to Trump.   GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Senator Grove was elected the 12th Senate District, where she continues an advocate for small business, the developmentally disabled, farmers, and families.

Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in Actors Collaborative Toledo'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.

Before we get back to a second visit with Joe Capucini (12:59 mark) who gives us a preview of The Thanksgiving Play at the Maumee Indoor next month... No houses will be taken by ODOT. Pitch those pumpkins. Nice to see this place still in business.  Adults (so all of us), be safe, don't misleading or be dishonest, and have some (fcUking) fun!

First up, Joe Capucini and The Thanksgiving Play will be on tomorrow's episode. So that tease will have to linger a bit longer. The Blade had a true crime pod several summers ago, and there's been an arrest in the case. Ranking the Flanaganverse shows. A final candy corn conversation for the season. The best Whopper maker in North America is here in Oregon. My niece's goals.

Larissa FastHorse (Sicangu Lakota Nation) is an award winning writer and 2020-2025 MacArthur Fellow. Her satirical comedy, The Thanksgiving Play, made her the first known female Native American playwright on Broadway at the Helen Hayes under the direction of Rachel Chavkin. Her new plays in 2023 are Wicoun (Cornerstone Theater Company), Democracy Project (Federal Hall), Fake It Until You Make It (CTG Mark Taper Forum), For the People (Guthrie), and the national tour of Peter Pan (Networks). Selected past plays include What Would Crazy Horse Do? (KCRep), Landless and Cow Pie Bingo (AlterTheater), Average Family (Children's Theater Company of Minneapolis), Teaching Disco Squaredancing to Our Elders: a Class Presentation (Native Voices at the Autry), as well as numerous productions of The Thanksgiving Play, making it one of the most produced plays in America. Larissa created the nationally recognized trilogy of community engaged theatrical experiences with Cornerstone Theater Company; Urban Rez, Native Nation, and Wicoun. She and her collaborator, Michael John Garcés, spend years on each project in an Indigenized community engagement process. “The engagement itself is the art form.” These projects have earned them national funding and an appointment to Arizona State University. Larissa's company with Ty Defoe, Indigenous Direction, recently produced the first land acknowledgement on national television for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC and continues to consult for them. They also consult for the largest theater organizations in the country. Larissa also writes in film and television, most recently as a creator for NBC, Disney Channel, Dreamworks, Muse, Netflix and others. She is based in Los Angeles with her husband, the sculptor Edd Hogan, and represented by Jonathan Mills at Paradigm NY. She is especially honored to follow in the footsteps of the last known Native American playwright on Broadway, Lynn Riggs.

"MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse's shocking satire flips the bird on one of America's most prolific myths."  Larissa Fasthorse is one of the first Indigenous women to have her play produced on Broadway. The Thanksgiving Play is one of six plays coming out written by Larissa Fasthorse in 2023. The Thanksgiving Play centers indigenous issues through the lens of a small community's attempt at staging a “socially-conscious thanksgiving play.” Fasthorse joins The Takeaway to talk about The Thanksgiving Play, the pressures of being one of the first Indigenous women to have a play produced on Broadway and what it's like to center Indigenous issues in an industry that often ignores Indigenous artistry. We speak with Larissa Fasthorse, playwright of The Thanksgiving Play, now on Broadway (PLAYBILL)

TV comedy queen D'Arcy Carden just made her Broadway debut in The Thanksgiving Play. You've seen D'Arcy in The Good Place, Barry, and more. Now she's starring in the new comedy-satire from Native American playwright, Larissa Fasthorse. Paul Wontorek sat down with D'Arcy to talk about what making her Broadway debut means to her.

“The Thanksgiving Play” is a play about the making of a play. Four performers struggle to devise a Thanksgiving performance that's respectful of Native peoples, historically accurate (while not too grim for white audiences), and also inclusive to the actors themselves. A train wreck ensues. “First it's fun. . . . You get to have a good time in the theatre. I would say that's the sugar, and then there's the medicine,” the playwright Larissa FastHorse tells the staff writer Vinson Cunningham. “The satire is the medicine, and you have to keep taking it.” FastHorse was born into the Sicangu Lakota Nation, and was adopted as a child into a white family. She is the first Native American woman to have a play produced on Broadway. “When I was younger, it was very painful to be separated from a lot of things that I felt like I couldn't partake in because I wasn't raised on the reservation or had been away from my Lakota family so long,” she says. “But now I really recognize it as my superpower that I can take Lakota culture . . . and contemporary Indigenous experiences and translate them for white audiences, which unfortunately are still the majority of audiences in American theatre.”

It is sometimes nice to get together with your sister and have a Sunday Morning Talk. And on this episode of talking-based podcast Las Culturistas, that is what Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers do. Over weed and coffee, the two dive into all things recent (except Succession, sorry sorry sorry): the Disney-DeSantis war, marijuana in NYC, Chappell Roan's imminent ascendance to That Girl, "being a finalist", the definition of a "sneaky link", the Porsha and Gizelle of it all on RHUGT, wifi and internet wars both on land and in the skies, the end of Taylor and Joe, the Super Mario Bros movie, boygenius slaying it, and AO Scott's retirement. Also, Luigi as a queer figure, Peach as a nothing figure, and republicans as physically ugly figures. All this, Yellowjackets/Melanie Lynskey, Monster's Inc./Shrek, improv/roleplay, Ellen Pompeo quietly leaving Grey's Anatomy, reviews of The Thanksgiving Play and Sweeney Todd on Broadway, "Thatgirlability", Drew Barrymore being an icon, and coffee shop milk counter etiquette. Where were you when Taylor and Joe broke up? When do you think was the end of glamour and taste? Does your FYP give you what *you* want or what *they* want? Regardless of the answers to these questions... Katie, you're a finalist. Now have a great day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sara Bareilles (Grammy-Award winner, Netflix's "Girls5Eva") and Jennifer Bareilles join host Reshma Gopaldas for a special Son of a Binge episode where the sisters break down "Bad Sisters," airing on Apple TV+.  "Bad Sisters" was created by Sharon Horgan ("Catastrophe," "Shining Vale") and is set in Ireland. "Bad Sisters" follows the story of 5 sisters, played by Eve Hewson, Sarah Greene, Eva Birthistle, and Anne-Marie Duff. The Bareilles sisters revealed they recently binged the show, when Sara recommended it to her sister. Together, they discuss the dark comedy, reveal the shows they can't stop re-watching ("Game of Thrones," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent") and why they loved Sharon Horgan's newest comedy. When Grace's awful husband, John-Paul, dies, the audience quickly realizes one of the Garvey sisters may have killed him. Darryl McCormack and Brian Gleeson play brothers who are handling John-Paul's life insurance pay out. Together, they decide to investigate if John-Paul was murdered, in the hopes of not having to pay the large sum of life insurance Grace is owed. "Bad Sisters" was renewed for a second season on Apple TV+, and has received 12 IFTA nominations (Irish Film & Television Awards) - including Lead Actress (Sharon Horgan), Best Drama, Supporting Actors and Supporting Actresses.  Jennifer Bareilles is an actor, improviser, teacher and coach.

Jackson and share our love of fat protagonists as we talk about A Strange Loop. Holly has thoughts on The Minutes and we both try to unpack our experience at Which Way to the Stage. As queer psychics, we predict the transfer of Into the Woods and The ThanksGiving Play (we promise we recorded this weeks ago), dream cast and queer Into the Woods, and welcome Milky White into the queer canon.

Larissa Fasthorse's new collection of plays includes the wildly successful plays The Thanksgiving Play/What Would Crazy Horse Do? (Theatre Communications Group, 2021). In both plays, Fasthorse explores issues facing contemporary Native Americans, but also white America's complicated self-identity in an era of multiculturalism. In The Thanksgiving Play, four white people with varying degrees of theatre experience try to stage a historically sensitive Thanksgiving pageant for a local school, with predictably disastrous results. What Would Crazy Horse Do? features the last two members of a fictional tribe who are forced to confront uncomfortable aspects of their own history when they learn that their grandfather participated in a reenactment of a powwow as part of a Klan rally. This gut-churning play reveals the fallacy of any ideology of racial purity, whether involving whites, indigenous peoples, or any other group. Together, these two plays are a riotously funny but ultimately unsettling look at contemporary politics of race and representation. Andy Boyd is a playwright based in Brooklyn, New York. He is a graduate of the playwriting MFA at Columbia University, Harvard University, and the Arizona School for the Arts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Part one: Brian Gill, Assistant Professor of Performance at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, talks about their production of "The Thanksgiving Play," a delightful satire about well-meaning political correctness. Part two: from the archives (2019) former UW-Parkside faculty member Lisa Kornetsky talks about Sarah Ruhl's play "Eurydice." The Metropolitan Opera's next HD simulcast (this Saturday) is of a brand new operatic version of Sarah Ruhl's play (she herself crafted the opera's libretto.)

Terry Tempest Williams is an environmental activist and chronicler of the western landscape. In her several books and essays, she takes us from national parks and monuments to the way our environment affects us, both physically and emotionally. In this latest collection, she discusses the degradation of our natural resources, an ongoing process that encompasses the past few administrations and rushes headlong in the ongoing one; she talks about her Mormon roots and how they still affect her at the deepest levels, and how her activism led to her removal from her post at the University of Utah, along with the heartbreaking story of her brother's death from suicide. In this in-depth interview, she talks specifically about how she and her husband bought oil leases in an attempt to prevent drilling, about the climate crisis, and about how she came to be a writer.

The podcast is back from a long hiatus for (hopefully!) an all new batch of episodes. This week, we are sitting down with Lighting Designer and recent Obie Award winner Isabella Byrd. Isabella discuses with us the genesis of her design for 'The Light Shining in Buckinghamshire' and how that show helped catapult her into greater visibility. She also shares insights into her work on 'The Thanksgiving Play', 'Seascape' and 'The Tale of Despereaux'  and if she feels a paradigm shifting in regards to gender parity on creative teams. Isabella and Cory also discuss her time at Chance Magazine and the Prague Quadrennial, how to make theatre marketing photos reflect the shows better, how she learned restraint working with designers like Jane Cox and Tyler Micoleau, and the challenge for young designers to separate the drafting process from the design process.
