TheatreLab Dayton (formerly Dare to Defy Productions) is a place where artists come together to cultivate their ideas into works of art. Focusing on music-based live theater, The Lab takes an ensemble approach to its process, letting each artist have a voice while the piece grows organically. The Lab prides itself on visually stunning works that examine the experiment of life in a way our audiences have not seen before.
Description
Join us for the premiere staged reading of Not Another Thanksgiving Play, written by local playwright Marley Masterson. Immediately following the performance, there will be a talk back with the cast and creatives.
Not Another Thanksgiving Play is a queer, polyamorous, slice-of-life comedy that modernizes common sitcom tropes and subverts romcom expectations. A group of Dungeons and Dragons players must navigate the complexities of their mid-20s while attempting to balance family, friendship, and romance. With Thanksgiving around the corner, the friends are forced to decide whether or not to hide their identities from their parents, while confronting issues of religious trauma, family drama, jealousy, and boundaries.
