About this event

By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins Purpose is a thought-provoking drama that explores identity, ambition, and the search for meaning in a changing world. The Jaspers are a prominent and politically active African-American family in Chicago, and must confront unexpected challenges during a family dinner. Set in the heart of the Civil Rights Movement, this Pulitzer and Tony award winning drama challenges each member of the family to examine personal expectations and societal pressures in the face of uncertainty. Powerful, introspective, and topical, Purpose follows their journey as they navigate the choices that define who they are.
