The Play
Thanksgiving in the Wilderness
by Kellie Powel
A young woman named Emily, who has given up on meeting Prince Charming, begins a polyamorous relationship with a cynical slacker. She is thrilled when, out of the blue, he invites her to spend Thanksgiving with his family and friends. Emily thinks this means their relationship is becoming more serious, so she is shocked when two of the other guests at Thanksgiving dinner are women her non-boyfriend is also involved with - Jillian, who is only 19 years old, and Claudia, who gets naked on the Internet for money.
