HUMAN RESOURCES by Jason Gray Platt

Published: May 10, 2020, 8:30 a.m.

Playing on Air is proud to present the winner of our 2019 James Stevenson Prize: Jason Gray Platt\u2019s HUMAN RESOURCES.

Tech start-up Diddly has a problem: their staff is whiter than a Coldplay concert in Vermont. Fortunately, Human Resources has a plan to \u201cimprove\u201d Diddly\u2019s corporate culture \u2014at least in theory.

A biting satire about virtue signaling and elephant milk, HUMAN RESOURCES features Tony winner Julie White (Airline Highway, A Doll\u2019s House, Part 2) and Tony nominee Steven Boyer (Broadway\u2019s Hand To God). Jade King Carroll (Hello, From the Children of Planet Earth, Proof of Love) directs the world premiere, recorded live at New York\u2019s Pershing Square Signature Center. After the play, host Claudia Catania joins the ensemble for a discussion about comedy, identity, and the absurd.
