Purpose, the gripping and hilarious new drama from Tony Award winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and directed by two-time Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad, is “a thumping, riveting, guns-blazing, major new American play” (NY Daily News). This electrifying production is an intimate and intriguing behind-the-scenes look at the influential Jasper family. And like all families, there are cracks beneath the surface. When the son returns home with an uninvited friend, the family is forced into a reckoning with itself, its faith, and its legacy.
