Wed, Nov 11
Purpose
Every family keeps two versions of itself: the one that sits down to dinner, and the one that surfaces the moment somebody finally says the unsayable thing out loud. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins built a whole play in the gap between them, and it won the Tony for it. A storied Black political dynasty gathers in a Chicago house where the legacy on the walls and the people under the roof no longer match, and the evening comes apart one sentence at a time. Phylicia Rashad directs, and the Broadway cast came west with it rather than recasting for the coast, so you are watching the people who built these performances in the room. The Gil Cates stage holds fewer than five hundred seats, which means the shouting lands about twenty feet from your face and the silences are worse. Previews begin Wednesday, November 11 at 7:30pm and the run continues through December 13 in Westwood. You will recognize somebody. That is the part nobody warns you about.

You found your people.
They didn't know each other before Falkor either.
