Purpose at Three Bone Theatre

For decades, the Jasper family has stood as a pillar of Black American politics—civil rights leaders, pastors, congressmen. But when the youngest son returns home to Chicago with an uninvited guest in tow, old loyalties crack under the weight of long-buried secrets and unresolved resentments. As the family gathers under one roof, they're forced into a reckoning with faith, legacy, and the price of believing in something larger than yourself. Purpose is a sharp, funny, and devastating portrait of a family determined to protect its public image even as the truth pushes to the surface. It's an epic story about what we inherit from our parents, what we owe to history, and what happens when the mask finally slips.
