About Purpose
From the Tony Award-winning playwright of Appropriate and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad comes Purpose.
For decades, the influential Jasper family has been a pillar of Black American Politics: civil rights leaders, pastors and congressmen. But like all families, there are cracks and secrets just under the surface. When the youngest son Nazareth returns home with an uninvited friend in tow, the family is forced into a reckoning with itself, its faith and the legacies of Black political power and familial duty. Spirited, hilarious and filled with intrigue, Purpose is an epic family drama from one of the country’s most celebrated voices.
“A breathtaking production that beautifully blends drama and comedy.”
Variety “An explosive new family drama...destined to take its place among the greatest American dramas of all time.”
