Purpose

Show Page - English

From the Tony Award-winning playwright of Appropriate and directed by the two-time Tony Award-winning Phylicia Rashad comes Purpose.

For decades, the influential Jasper family has been a pillar of Black American Politics: civil rights leaders, pastors and congressmen. But like all families, there are cracks and secrets just under the surface. When the youngest son Nazareth returns home to Chicago with an uninvited friend in tow, the family is forced into a reckoning with itself, its faith and the legacies of Black political power and familial duty. Spirited, hilarious and filled with intrigue, Purpose is an epic family drama from one of the country’s most celebrated voices.

“A blistering Steppenwolf Production with explosive, knee-buckling intensity.” Steven Oxman, Chicago Sun-Times
