The Thanksgiving Play follows four white professionals determined to create a politically correct First Thanksgiving play for Native American Heritage Month in schools.
Logan, the director, hires an actress named Alicia, believing she is Native American, to provide cultural authenticity. However, it is soon revealed that Alicia is actually white and only portrays Native American characters when not playing other ethnicities.
Without an authentic Native voice, Logan and her team – which includes her partner Jaxton, an earnest actor, and Caden, an enthusiastic history teacher – are forced to confront the complexities of privilege while adhering to historical accuracy and school district rules.
