Appropriate

Appropriate at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

A family gathers to settle an estate. Grief walks through the door first, but resentment follows close behind. Appropriate comes to The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Sunday, February 14, 2027, at 2:00 PM. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's 2024 Tony Award–winning play turns a reunion into a reckoning when long-buried secrets claw their way to the surface and a shocking attic discovery throws the Lafayette family's history into question.

Director Celine Rosenthal leads a production that mixes outrage, revelation and razor-sharp comedy. The play erupts with dark humor, giving you permission to laugh at moments that also sting. If you're drawn to theater that doesn't soften difficult emotions, this is a chance to watch a volatile American family story unfold in front of you.

Bring someone who values bold writing and isn't afraid of mature themes. The production includes strong language and discussions of sexual violence, suicide and racism. Choose this outing with a friend or partner who appreciates theater that takes emotional risks, and you'll have plenty to talk about when the lights come up.
