LUCIE, FL Price: $25 Treasure Coast Theatre -- the only community theatre in Port St Lucie -- presents this award-winning comedy-drama that follows the Blake family as they celebrate Thanksgiving at the Manhattan apartment of the younger daughter. The Holiday gathering soon devolves into discussions of illnesses, religion, career struggles, changing relationships and other issues that affect so many families. As the dinner stretches into the evening, eerie things start to occur. This production contains some mature language. Critics described this play as a blisteringly funny, bruisingly sad and altogether wonderful play that depicts the way we live now... kind, warm, beautifully observed and deeply moving, a celebration of the imperfections and affections of working-class families...and an absolute triumph." "The Humans" was nominated for six Tony awards in 2016, winning four, including for Best Play. The Humans also won four Drama Desk Awards, a Drama League Award, an Outer Critics Circle Award, a New York Critics Circle Award, and it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize.
