Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell reprise their Tony-winning performances in The Humans, Pulitzer Prize finalist Stephen Karam's uproarious, hopeful and heartbreaking play that takes place over the course of a family dinner on Thanksgiving. Breaking with tradition, Erik Blake has brought his Pennsylvania family to celebrate and give thanks at his daughter's apartment in Lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle pre-war duplex and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the Blake clan's deepest fears and greatest follies are laid bare. Our modern age of anxiety is keenly observed, with humor and compassion, in this new American classic that won the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play. Led by two-time Tony-winning director Joe Mantello, the cast performing at the Ahmanson in L.A. also includes previous Broadway company members Cassie Beck, Lauren Klein, Nick Mills, and Sarah Steele.
