"Drawn in subtle but indelible strokes, Mr. Karam's play might almost qualify as deep-delving reportage, so clearly does it illuminate the current, tremor-ridden landscape of contemporary America." - The New York Times
WINNER! 2016 Tony Awards® for Best Play
FINALIST! 2016 Pulitzer Prizes for Drama
Stephen Karam's THE HUMANS is a searing examination of the new American consciousness. Driven by empathy and humor, this Tony Award-winning play creates a hyper-realistic view of life and the complexities of the "American Dream". Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter's apartment in lower Manhattan. Unfolding over a single scene, THE HUMANS is a "delirious tragicomedy" (The Chicago Sun-Times) by acclaimed young playwright Stephen Karam who "infuses the traditional kitchen-sink family drama with qualities of horror in his portentous and penetrating work of psychological unease" (Variety), creating an indelible American family portrait.
The cast of THE HUMANS includes Tim Kniffin* as "Erik," Marie Shell* as "Dierdre," Madeline Rouverol as "Brigid," Lyndsy Kail* as "Aimee," George Psarras* as "Richard" and Jessica Powell* as "Momo."
In addition to Mr. Kelly, the creative team includes Guilio Perrone (Scenic Designer), Michael Palumbo + (Lighting Designer), Madeline Berger (Costume Designer), Lana Palmer (Sound Design), Caitlin Elizabeth (Props Coordinator), Bill Vujevich (Scenic Painter) and Michael Truman Cavanaugh* (Production Stage Manager).
*Member of Actors' Equity Association, the union of professional actors and stage managers.
+Member of United Scenic Artists.
THE HUMANS runs ninety minutes with no intermission.
