Pandemic Radio Theater

The Department of Theater invites you to a Thanksgiving like no other: “You Are There! Native Americans at the First Thanksgiving” is streaming on demand now through Wednesday. Based on the old-time radio series that blended history with modern technology, circa 1947, news broadcasters journey through a time warp to Plymouth, Mass., in fall 1621. The Pilgrim colonists are celebrating their first successful harvest by firing guns and canons that disturb Wampanoag hunters quietly searching for prey. You are there to hear from everybody and learn that when white Americans speak about Thanksgiving, they aren’t always talking turkey. Learn more.
