About the show

About

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 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.

Hayes Theater

The Hayes Theater, originally known as the Little Theatre, opened in 1912 under the vision of producer Winthrop Ames. Designed by architects Ingalls & Hoffman, the theater was part of the Little Theatre Movement, emphasizing intimate productions and experimental works. In 1920, architect Herbert J. Krapp expanded the seating capacity by adding a balcony, increasing the total to approximately 597 seats, making it the smallest Broadway theater. Over the years, the venue has served various purposes, including stints as a television studio and conference hall. In 1983, it was renamed the Helen Hayes Theatre in honor of the esteemed actress. The theater underwent significant renovations and, in 2018, reopened as the Hayes Theater under the management of Second Stage Theater, continuing its legacy of hosting innovative productions.
