The Macon Newsroom reviewed Theater at MGA's production of The Thanksgiving Play, which satirically explores the production of a Thanksgiving pageant.
"The Thanksgiving Play by Larissa Fasthorse, performed on April 14, 2023, at Middle Georgia State University, was written by a satirical playwright to combat the struggles of finding accurate Native American representation to play the roles.
'I have a six-year-old daughter, and I enjoyed channeling her energy and personal style for my part. It was also a joy to see the final performance come together—the students did a fantastic job,' [said actor Heatherly Wakefield].
The audience seemed to agree as the cast received a standing ovation as the play ended."
