After a slight delay thanks to snowstorm Jonas, off-Broadway hit The Humans will begin performances on the Main Stem on January 24. Penned by Stephen Karam, directed by Joe Mantello and starring Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell, the production will officially open on February 18 at the Helen Hayes Theatre.
The Humans follows Mr. Blake, who, after a sleepless night, brings his family from Pennsylvania to his daughter’s new apartment to celebrate Thanksgiving. Family tensions reach a boiling point as things start to go bump in the night.
In addition to Birney as Erik and Houdyshell as Deirdre, the cast will include Arian Moayed as Richard, Lauren Klein as Fiona, Cassie Beck as Aimee and Sarah Steele as Brigid.
