The comeuppance
written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
directed by ensemble member Tina Landau
A Co-Production with American Conservatory Theater
Feb 4 - Mar 21, 2027 in the Downstairs Theater
Welcome back, St. Anthony’s graduating class of 2002!
On the night of their 20th high school reunion, a group of misfit Millennial classmates reconnect for a familiar pregame: drinks, pot, a limo ride and a whole lot of messy memories. But, in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins' riveting dark ensemble comedy, a specter looms over the proceedings, reminding us that time only marches forward, even for ‘90’s kids. This Chicago premiere from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Purpose is a contemplative, hilarious and grave reflection on life and death.
