In the first production for Traverse City's new Solstice Theatre Company, four theater artists are trying to create a politically correct pageant for elementary school students to tell the story of the first Thanksgiving.

Larissa FastHorse's "The Thanksgiving Play" runs Nov. 13-15 at The Match in Traverse City. More info on tickets.

FastHorse was a guest of the Traverse City-based National Writers Series in 2021. Hear that conversation.
