Purpose, written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and directed by Josiah Davis, is the winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play. The play centers on the Jasper family, a prominent pillar of Black American society whose carefully maintained world begins to fracture when their youngest son returns home with an unexpected dinner guest. Exploring themes of faith, class, ambition, and heritage, the play weaves together humor and sharp social observation in equal measure.
