The Thanksgiving Play @ Tacoma Armory
Tickets
Nov 3 @ 7:30 pm

MacArthur Genius Larissa FastHorse’s shocking satire flips the bird on one of America’s most prolific myths. When a troupe of well-meaning theater artists attempt to put on a culturally sensitive Thanksgiving school pageant, things get messy. Hilarious and poignant, this delicious play skewers everything right, wrong, and politically correct in America by exploring themes of privilege, historical accuracy of navigating these complexities.

The Thanksgiving Play made its Broadway debut at the Hayes Theater in 2023, making Larissa FastHorse the first female Native American playwright to have a play produced on Broadway. FastHorse wrote the play in response to the difficulties she faced in finding Native American actors for her previous works. Through satire and humor, the play addresses the misrepresentation of Native Americans, the lack of indigenous casting, and the challenges of accurately representing indigenous people in American society.

The Triplets of Belleville Cine-Concert @ Tacoma Armory
Tickets
Nov 4 @ 3:00 pm

Animated French feature The Triplets of Belleville swept the globe in 2003, garnering dozens of awards and nominations, while capturing the hearts of admirers along the way. Experience a cinema-concert screening of the film with the composer Benoît Charest leading his eight-piece Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville in a live performance of the original score. Much of the joie de vivre of the film came from the Oscar-nominated soundtrack by Charest, which captivated audiences and transported them to the streets of 1920s Paris. Enjoy the misadventures of a kidnapped Tour de France cyclist, his would-be rescuer grandmother, and the titular trio of larger-than-life divas, all accompanied by the speakeasy sounds from a live orchestra. Ride your bike the show and meet up with fellow cyclists!
