World Premiere of The Humanities September 13, 2026
The Humanities is a provocative play by Zayd Ayers Dohrn in which faculty and students at an elite American university grapple with issues of gender, race, sex, and violence when a controversial speaker comes to town. Cultural battles are fought, identities are made and unmade, and people accustomed to the life of the mind are forced to confront their most primal instincts.
Audience Advisory The Humanities explores complex and challenging subject matter and contains strong language, sexual content, and partial nudity. Recommended for adult audiences.
