Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and once again, Bend playwrights Cayla Clark and Clinton Clark (no relation) have teamed to mine the comedic hell out of the holiday. Aficionados of area community theater may remember the pair’s previous holiday presentation, “A PC Christmas,” which ran less than a year ago at 2nd Street Theater, where “A PC Thanksgiving” opens Thursday.

This time around, the four plays — two from each of the Clarks — find humor in turkey slaughter, family tensions, high-maintenance foodies, the political divide and the arrival of the pilgrims. The four nimble works here complement one another without seeming overstuffed: Each play gets in and gets the job done, not overstaying its welcome, unlike certain Thanksgiving guests.

The show opens with Clinton Clark’s “Turkey Riot,” directed by Danielle Herron. Whitney Cunningham, Kathryn Galan, Cayla Clark and Mia Kelsay star as four turkey hens who see themselves as prisoners for crimes they can’t recall, and attempt to fly the coop after Gladys (Cunningham) witnesses the execution of a pen mate. Galan serves time as the prisoners’ mother hen, Blue, while Kelsay is the randy bird, Dottie, and Clark is the brightly plumed Thomasina. “Turkey Riot” comes off as a mashup of “Orange is the New Black” and “Chicken Run,” which is meant as a compliment of the highest pecking order.

Cayla Clark studied playwriting at the University of California-Los Angeles before moving to Bend last year. She got involved at 2nd Street right away, stage managing a show.

“I’d never done that before, but I’m glad I did because I met Clinton,” she said. “Then, we found out we have the same last name, the same birthday and we’re both playwrights.” Those “weird coincidences,” she said, led them to do a reading of their original one-act plays, called “Hello Darkness,” followed by “A PC Christmas” and, of course, this year’s show.

Clark said she tends to write black comedy and is slowly chipping away at a full-length play. She enjoyed the process of writing the broader, more slapstick humor in her “A PC Thanksgiving” contributions, the first of which is “The First Thanksgiving,” the second of the four plays.

“The First Thanksgiving,” directed by Raechel Gilland, stars Joyce Tittle as a grandmother, who’s perhaps had a nightcap or two on the evening in question, telling her grandsons (Kellen Sears and Owen Litehiser) about Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock.

“Obviously, it’s not historically accurate, at all,” Clark said. “The Pilgrims are surfer boys and Valley girls, and Squanto is just like this neutral character. He’s like, OK, you’re on my land, but it’s fine. … I wanted to characterize the Pilgrims in a way that would be relatable, but also funny. I feel like nobody really knows how Pilgrims were.”

Summer Griffith Sears, Jayde Clark and Maddie Barron are the catty Valley girls; Burke De Boer and Tom Thurman dive right in to their roles as the surfer boys. Starvation and genocide aside, it’s pretty funny to see the Pilgrims imagined as inept invaders with vapid personalities and Southern California accents. While the idea and its execution would likely get laughs anywhere, it would seem to have even more potential in fast-growing Bend. At any rate, if you ever chuckled at “The Californians” sketches on “Saturday Night Live,” get thee to a 2nd Street Theater.

Clinton Clark wrote and directed the next play, “Black Friday,” which imagines a politically polarized family of Trump supporters on one side of the divide and a tofurkey-serving lesbian couple and their adopted son on the other. No matter whether you’re more fond of tofurkey eating or “lock ’er up” chanting, “Black Friday” is an equal opportunity offender that lands some zingers on both camps. When things get heated and a wall threatens to go up (metaphorically speaking), it’s up to the women’s son, Henry (Owen Litehiser), and his cousin, Cindy (Jayde Clark), to connect everyone once again.

Food is at the heart of the family conflict in “A Gluten-Free Thanksgiving,” written and directed by Cayla Clark. In this piece, Burke De Boer eschews his surfer-dude accent to bite into the role of Mark, the type of fella who drinks rainwater and whose concern about fair-trade sources and organic bona fides of the food he consumes is, well, all-consuming.

He joins his girlfriend, Maggie (Mia Kelsay), for the holiday with her parents (John Thoreson and Melinda Rees Jahn) — who eat powdered potatoes and Honey Baked Ham on Thanksgiving. Will Mark’s modern-day food obsessions cluck it all up? Maybe, maybe not, but you’ll gobble it up just the same.
