This play by Stephen Karam won a Tony when it started off in NYC. And it is set in a situation of your family, or mine, or one you know getting together for a Thanksgiving event. Directed by Matt Torney, the cast of players is Lala Cochran, Susan Shalhoub Larkin, Maggie Larson, Rhyn McLemore and Tamil Periasamy.

They are meeting up in a flat where not everything works quite as one might wish; but this is in the big city and life has to go on. It’s a two story residence connected by the spiral staircase or for those with problems by the building’s outer elevator.

Just know this is not one for the kiddies, as you may agree at the finale that the OED should be inclined to change the definition of dysfunctional to “see family.” It’s a deeply provocative show running about 100 minutes without intermission, at the Balzer Theatre down on Luckie Street.

East to get to, plenty of nearby parking, and every seat has a good view. More info and tickets at TheatricalOutfit.org
