Director

Isn’t it time we rethink Thanksgiving?  That’s the question on the table when four politically correct performers get together to create a new take on the traditional holiday pageant.  Good intentions turn into outright tension as the group struggles to re-envision history, all without ruffling any feathers.  Rambunctious, wild, and fearless, The Thanksgiving Play serves up history and humor with a steaming side dish of uniquely American hypocrisy.  Are you ready to eat your words?

The Thanksgiving Play

Harvard University

A heartfelt and humorous world premiere. On the Gila River Indian Community reservation in Arizona, Rocky (Rainbow Dickerson) and her family face Rocky’s struggle to balance between traditional basket-making culture and the inroads on reservation life of the casino and her integration with non-native culture. Written by Claude Jackson, Jr., the director of his tribe’s public defender’s office, Cashed Out was the 2019 winner of the Native Voices at the Autry short play festival.
