Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Amina Robinson
A Co-Production with Philadelphia Theatre Company
Fresh from winning the Tony Award, the Pulitzer Prize, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award and the Drama Desk Award, Purpose is “a thumping, riveting, guns-blazing, major new American play” (NY Daily News). For decades, the influential Jasper family of Chicago has been a pillar of Black American Politics: civil rights leaders, celebrity pastors and congressmen. When the youngest son Nazareth returns home with an uninvited friend in tow, the family is forced to reckon with decades of secrets and unresolved tensions that threaten to topple their empire. Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins’ vivid, funny and riveting play is an epic family drama for our time.
