Larissa FastHorse brings satire to D.C. stage

Playwright Larissa FastHorse’s latest production, “Fake It Until You Make It,” is now showing at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. The farce, which premiered in California, satirizes the nonprofit world through the rivalry of two leaders—one Indigenous, one not—highlighting racial and political disparities in funding and representation. FastHorse, a Sicangu Lakota Nation citizen, explores the themes of identity, sovereignty and Two-Spirit visibility.
