Show Synopsis
​
The Humans by Stephen Karam, Winner of the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play.
Breaking with tradition, the Blake family gathers to celebrate Thanksgiving at the youngest daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. The Humans shares the story of a typical family reunion where a group of people love each other but still wrestle with basic human fears of modern-day life: generational differences, old age, abandonment, poverty, and death
