Thanksgiving in Chinatown

The Humans has won four Tony Awards for Best Play, Best Actress Performance by Jayne Houdyshell, Best Actor by Reed Birney and Best Scenic Design by David Zinn. It also received four Drama Desk Awards for outstanding play, ensemble, lighting and sound design. The show was so exceptional that it was a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive from many headliners. The playwright grew up in Scranton, Penn., and uses this when shaping the family's background as they travel to a Chinatown duplex. The discussions over the dinner table cover topics from retirement to the opioid crisis along with the daily pains of finance, corporations and digestive issues. The multi-generational cast warms the script with humor and comic relief.

What is The Humans performance like?

It takes place on a two-level stage that depicts a New York-style apartment set on Thanksgiving Day. Reviewers have commented that it feels like a generational drama you could watch with your parents or the whole family. The play has no specific plot but is crafted more toward conversational insights and dramatic highlights as the story peaks. There are some moments of horror, a panic attack and mystery where the lights go out and the kitchen objects start falling. This is where those award-winning sound effects heighten the live experience.
