To open their
exciting new season, Park Square Theatre is presenting the regional premiere of the 2016 Tony-winning best play
The Humans by Stephen Karem (whose
Sons of the Prophet they produced a few years ago). This play about a typical family Thanksgiving dinner is devastating in its specificity, in its relatability, in its raw truth, and in the way it lays bare what it is to be human and part of a family. And therein lies its beauty. I saw
the Broadway tour, as well as
the recent movie adaptation, so I knew we were in for a treat. The stunning design and excellent cast lived up to my expectations; the show cuts deep and is hard to shake upon leaving the theater. If you're a human, you will be able to relate to
The Humans - the good, the bad, and the ugly of it.
See it in the historic Hamm building in downtown St. Paul through October 9 (#bringtissues).
