The Humanities is a provocative, ripped-from-the-headlines story that explores the events after a controversial speaker is invited to lecture at an elite American university. Written by Zayd Ayers Dohrn and directed by Eddie Torres, the world premiere features an all-Chicago cast including Nora Dunn, Al'Jaleel McGhee, Steve Pickering, Isa Arciniegas, Daniil Krimer, Devaughn Asante Loman, Piper Murphy, William Anthony Sebastia Rose II, and Sabine Wan. The play examines identity, race, protests on college campuses, and political violence. This work contains mature themes including sexual content, strong language, and partial nudity.
