Tony-Winning Play 'Purpose' to Make Los Angeles Debut with Full Original Broadway Cast Reprising Roles

The Tony-winning play Purpose will be making its Los Angeles debut later this year with the full original Broadway cast reprising their roles.

The Geffen Playhouse just announced its 2026/2027 season lineup, led by the Broadway and Steppenwolf Theatre Company production Purpose, written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and directed by Phylicia Rashad.

The play won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama last year and also took home two Tony Awards, including Best Play and Best Featured Actress in a Play for Kara Young.
