Small Claims
July 19 - August 1, 2010
Welcome to the Civil Court of the City of New York part 53: SMALL CLAIMS, click one of the busiest courts in the world. David Jenkins’s Small Claims introduces us to several characters searching for revenge, catharsis and the meaning of justice. Some have been wronged, some are plain wrong, and everyone else is just trying to get by. In the end, it all boils down to the principle of the thing.

Human Animals is a NYC-based theater ensemble committed to the celebration of the idiosyncrasies of the Human Animal. We believe in hungry theater, made by those who burn to practice their discipline, and embrace the constraints of our limited budgets as a means of creating innovative work.

Critical praise for Human Animals’ inaugural production of middlemen:
“Fantastically inventive…a darkly humorous allegory that might have been written by Samuel Beckett if he worked for Enron.” — Huffington Post
“Sharply written, funny, insightful…an extremely promising debut for the company Human Animals!” — Flavor Pill
“Human Animals is a collective “committed to the exploration and celebration of our idiosyncrasies.” There are plenty of those on hand in middlemen, so theatergoers are encouraged to be idiosyncratic and head downtown!” — Theatermania
“One wonders if this is what it would be like if Sartre wrote for The Office.” — Time Out New York
