Under the new artistic direction of Hana Sharif, the Repertory Theater of St. Louis presents the Thanksgiving Play, a satirical story about the creation of a politically correct Thanksgiving play that is historically accurate, avoids all possible stereotypes, and doesn’t offend anyone. This wickedly hilarious satire hurtles into glorious chaos, skewering both its characters’ pretensions and the traditional “Thanksgiving story.”

Please join the Academy for a group viewing on January 23. Please RSVP as limited number of tickets are available.
