The Humans

TONY AWARD WINNING

“If there's a better acting ensemble working in America right now than the extraordinary cast of The Humans at the Ahmanson Theatre I’m unaware of its existence. Stephen Karam’s 2016 Tony Award-winning Best Play captures contemporary American domestic life in such wincingly accurate detail that something at once eternal and urgently of the moment is achieved. The Humans has come to L.A. at full-strength.” -- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times 

Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell reprise their Tony Award^®-winning performances in The Humans, exclusively at the Ahmanson. Stephen Karam's The Humans is an 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 Award-winning director Joe Mantello, the cast also includes previous Broadway company members Cassie Beck, Lauren Klein, Nick Mills, and Sarah Steele.
