Purpose

WINNER! Tony Award for Best Play WINNER! Pulitzer Prize for Drama Winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize and a smash hit on Broadway, Purpose is the explosive and wildly entertaining new play from Tony winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, diving headlong into the life of a prominent and influential political dynasty. Encircled by civil rights leaders, pastors, and congressmen for decades, the Jasper family is a foundational pillar of Black American society. That is, until their youngest son returns home with an unexpected dinner guest, and their carefully curated existence begins to fracture. Don’t miss this searing and hilarious exploration of faith, class, ambition, and heritage — what The Washington Post called “a feast of jaw-dropping tea and riveting food for thought.”
