The Thanksgiving Play
by Larissa FastHorse
Directed by David Ruttura
November 7-17th, 2024
in partnership with Oklahoma Contemporary
Good intentions collide with absurd assumptions in this wickedly funny satire, as a troupe of terminally woke teaching artists scramble to create a pageant that somehow manages to celebrate both Turkey Day and Native American Heritage Month. This hit play was written by Larissa FastHorse, making her the first Native American woman playwright produced on Broadway.
"Broadway’s funniest and most daring new comedy” -The Guardian
“Very, very funny. Larissa FastHorse’s The Thanksgiving Play skewers liberal pretensions with glee – this clever satire is something for which to be truly thankful." -Hollywood Reporter

Under The Radar
SHOW TO BE ANNOUNCED!
January 17-19, 2025
in association with the Under the Radar Festival and the Oklahoma Contemporary
​
New York's the Under the Radar Festival and OKC Rep embark on our fourth year in partnership. Together, we will bring one of Under the Radar 2025’s innovative shows straight from New York City to Oklahoma City. In the past three years, OKC and RADAR have partnered to bring three acclaimed productions to Oklahoma City: Inua Ellams' An Evening with an Immigrant; Roger Guenveur Smith's Otto Frank; and Queens of Sheba by Jessica L. Hagan and Ryan Calais Cameron. We can't wait to announce what we have planned for January 2025!
​
"I think it's great to point to Oklahoma City as a success — that this work does land out there and not just in this little bubble we call New York City. Great art connects." -Mark Russell, Director of Under the Radar, interviewed by Brandy McDonnell in The Oklahoman

“Endearingly funny and deeply affecting... It would be hard to identify a work for the theater with its finger more on the pulse of America right now.” – Washington Post
“Not just the best play to open on Broadway so far this season, but also the most important.” – The New York Times

Frederick Douglas NOW
Created and Performed
by Roger Guenveur Smith
May 1-4, 2025
in partnership with Oklahoma Contemporary
Roger Guenveur Smith returns to OKC Rep with his signature solo performance of FREDERICK DOUGLASS NOW—inspired by the life and work of the self-liberated abolitionist and pioneering feminist Frederick Douglass. Smith has edited Douglass' class 19th Century texts into a jazz-infused narrative, bookended by original writing to produce the kind of edgy stylistic mash-up of which vital contemporary theater is made.
​
“Roger Guenveur Smith gets it all. And gets it brilliantly.” — New York Times
THE THANKSGIVING PLAY and WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME
are presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
