Celebrate Thanksgiving with ‘The Humans’
Pittsburgh Public Theater celebrates Thanksgiving with “The Humans,” running through Dec. 10 at the O’Reilly Theatre, downtown. “The Humans” was honored with the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play.
The Blake clan, Irish Catholic family from Scranton, find themselves in Chinatown for the Thanksgiving holiday. In 90 minutes of real-time, the company eats, airs everything from minor complaints to serious setbacks, runs up and down a spiral staircase to get to the bathroom, finds joy in their shared traditions, criticizes, and demonstrates their unshakable love for each other. But beneath the typical holiday festivities, eerie things take place: thuds, shadows, rumbles. Is this just life in contemporary Manhattan, or is something else going on?
