The Humans ~ Black Box Theater at BRCT
Starts: 10/22/2026 - Ends: 11/08/2026
Stephen Karam's The Humans is a haunting, darkly comic family drama that captures the anxieties of modern life with honesty and empathy. Set in a Chinatown apartment on Thanksgiving, the play follows the Blake family as they gather to celebrate the holiday. Over the course of one evening, secrets emerge, tensions flare, and unspoken fears about health, money, and mortality bubble to the surface. Blending sharp humor with unsettling suspense, The Humans is a deeply relatable portrait of what it means to be human in an uncertain world.
