- Playwright Stephen Karam, and actors Reed Birney, Jayne Houdyshell and Cassie Beck discuss Karam's new play "The Humans," now on Broadway at the Helen Hayes Theatre. The drama, a 2016 Pulitzer Prize finalist, focuses on a family in crisis on several different fronts. They are confronting unemployment, scandal, dementia and cancer, yet they have come together on Thanksgiving to affirm and celebrate their solidarity. In what playwright Karam aptly terms, "a genre collision play," their time together moves from humorous bantering into a moving and eerie climax that has brought the play raves from all the critics.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.
The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)
The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
