Historical Comedy. 7 Performers (5 children).
Welcome to Truckee Elementary, where Mrs Hazel's Grade 6 class is about to unveil the skit they've devised for Pioneer Week. What ensues is a pitch-black, fairly-historically-accurate tragicomedy about America's most notorious overlanders: the doomed Donner Party. An adorable meditation on Manifest Destiny, colonialism, and the settler's desire for expansion, even at their own expense... Winner of the Toronto Fringe's 2026 24-Hour Playwriting Competition!
