Mark Taper Forum presents Fake It Until You Make It
January 29-March 9, 2025 | Mark Taper Forum
A bold world premiere comedy from Los Angeles-based playwright, Larissa FastHorse, about being whoever you want to be, even when it’s not who you are. A member of the Sicangu Lakota Nation, and author of the Broadway comedy, The Thanksgiving Play, FastHorse’s new work shines a hilarious light on ‘shifters’ who exist in a world of self-determined identity. This thought-provoking comic play asks what happens when you don’t believe you are the race you want to be? Change it! Fake It Until You Make It takes an absurd look at what defines who we are, and the lengths some people will go through to change it.
" I am thrilled to be part of Snehal's first season of the Mark Taper Forum. This is my hometown theatre. Getting to bring this play to life where it started means so much to me. I can't wait to fill this space with laughter." —Larissa FastHorse, Playwright
