Moraine Valley Academic Theater Hits The Stage In Satirical Comedy 'The Thanksgiving Play'

PALOS HILLS, IL—The Moraine Valley Community College Academic Theater Department hits the boards in its upcoming production of “The Thanksgiving Play,” April 24 to 25 and May 1 to 2, at 7:30 p.m., and April 26 and May 3 at 3 p.m., in the Fine and Performing Arts Center’s John and Angeline Oremus Theater, 9000 W. College Parkway in Palos Hills.

MacArthur Genius author Larissa FastHorse wrote this skewering and satirical comedy about four well-intentioned teachers and actors who walk into an elementary school to work on a Thanksgiving play that won’t ruffle any feathers. Just about everything goes wrong in the rambunctious, thorny and not altogether politically correct play about the hypocrisies of “woke” America served to audiences on a big, family-style platter.

The cast includes:

Logan – Veronica Knutsen, of Orland Park

Jaxton – Matthew Dever, of Evergreen Park

Caden – Michael Mills, of Oak Lawn

Alicia – Francesca Crosby, of Oak Lawn

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors over 55, and $10 for Moraine Valley employees and students. For more information, or to purchase tickets to this or other FPAC shows, visit FPAC Tickets or call (708) 974-5500.
