KANSAS CITY, MO — ‘The Humans’ is the winner of the 2016 Tony Award for Best Play and was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize. It is about the Blake family, who gathers for Thanksgiving dinner in lower Manhattan at their daughter’s new apartment. As darkness falls outside the ramshackle duplex, family tensions reach a boiling point and the secrets that bubble up threaten to change this modern American family forever. Starting tomorrow, March 6, it is onstage at the Unicorn Theatre. Director Darren Sextro and Actress Cathy Barnett, who plays “Deirdre Blake,” discuss their rendition of the play and what audiences will expect. You can see ‘The Humans’ tomorrow through March 31.
