WINNER! Tony Award for Best Play
WINNER! Pulitzer Prize for Drama
Winner of the 2025 Pulitzer Prize and a smash hit on Broadway,Purposeis the explosive and wildly entertaining new play from Tony winnerBranden 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 — whatThe Washington Postcalled “a feast of jaw-dropping tea and riveting food for thought.”
