Purpose, the Tony Award winner for Best Play and 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, receives its Philadelphia premiere at Philadelphia Theatre Company, directed by three-time Barrymore Award-winning director Amina Robinson. When Nazareth Jasper returns home during a winter storm, he is pulled back into a family shaped by legacy, expectation, and long-held secrets. As tensions rise and truths surface, the play examines the weight of family history and the challenge of forging one's own path within it, using sharp humor and emotional depth to explore how identity is shaped by both where we come from and the choices we make.
