THE HUMANS
Sept 15 – Oct 9, 2022 | Proscenium Stage
By Stephen Karam
Directed by Lily Tung Crystal
Modern Drama | 2016 Tony Award winner for Best Play
Three generations of the Blake family have assembled for Thanksgiving and everyone is determined to make the best of it, but as they attempt to focus on the positive, old wounds, current mistakes, and future fears threaten their stability. Full of blistering comedy with a dark underside, Stephen Karam (Sons of the Prophet) offers a stunning portrayal of the human condition; a family navigating the challenges of everyday life.
The performance will run approximately 100 minutes with no intermission.
“What I love about The Humans is that it fully captures the joy, humor, and dysfunction of family in all its nuances. There are many Asian adoptees around the country, particularly in Minnesota, and portraying a family of White parents with Korean adoptee daughters allows us to embrace all the diversity that family can be.”
– Lily Tung Crystal, Director
