About The Comeuppance

WELCOME BACK CLASS OF 2003!

On the night of their 20th high school reunion, the self-proclaimed “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” reconnects while they pregame in Prince George’s County, Maryland. But amid the flow of reminiscing, an otherworldly presence forces these former classmates to face the past head-on and reckon with an unknowable future. The latest from MacArthur Genius, Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award- winner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (An Octoroon, Appropriate, Gloria), this “mesmerizing” (The Wrap) new play garnered a New York Times Critic’s Pick and Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play. Featuring members of Woolly Mammoth’s Company of Artists, Jon Hudson Odom and Erika Rose, in collaboration with The Wilma’s HotHouse.
