Stephen Karam : The Joe D Show Episode 34

Stephen Karam’s family drama “The Humans” was supposed to start previews on Saturday, but got hijacked by winter storm Jonas.

“It’s an understatement to say that it was a bit of a crazy event to have your Broadway debut completely snowed out,” he says.

But the play is now in previews and he’s taking it in stride. Karam, author of “Speech & Debate,” and “Sons of the Prophet,” talks about his inspirations for “The Humans,” which follows a family through ups and downs on Thanksgiving.

Turns out that living in a basement apartment without natural light actually played a part for the show now in previews at the Helen Hayes.
