Join us to see THE HUMANS, a Tony Award-winning play, on November 15th at the Pittsburgh Public Theater. It’s been called the “Best Play of the Year” by the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Entertainment Weekly, among other sources. What’s it about? Brigid and Richard have moved into a shabby two-floor apartment in New York’s Chinatown just in time for Thanksgiving, and her family arrives from Scranton, PA to laugh, argue, and eat around the table. But also dished up are fears, real and imagined, experienced by many Americans dealing with life today.  Don’t miss it!  And don’t delay!  Tickets are $18, and you can pay by cash or check made payable to “NASH.” Permission forms can be picked up in GOAL or downloaded through Blackboard.
