Main Stem-Bound Stephen Karam’s The Humans Will Extend Off-Broadway

Stephen Karam’s The Humans, which just opened officially off-Broadway on October 25, will extend through January 3, 2016. The production, which is playing at the Laura Pels Theatre, had been set to shutter on December 27. As previously reported, the show is expected to migrate to the Great White Way in early spring 2016, with the cast from the current Roundabout production—including Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell—intact.

In addition to Birney and Houdyshell, the company includes Arian Moayed as Richard, Lauren Klein as Fiona, Cassie Beck as Aimee and Sarah Steele as Brigid.

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.

Joe Mantello directs the production; no word yet on exact dates or a venue for the move to Broadway.
