Appropriate at The Jenny Boyd Theatre
The Lafayette family gathers to settle their late father's estate, and grief quickly turns into accusation. Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's Appropriate comes to The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Friday, February 12, 2027, at 7:30 PM. If you're drawn to plays that expose what families bury, this Tony Award–winning drama puts you in the room as long-hidden resentments surface.
A shocking discovery in the attic throws the family's history into question, and the reunion spirals into outrage and revelation. Director Celine Rosenthal stages the production with a creative team that includes scenic designer Leilane Bertunes, costume designer Matthew Carl, and lighting designer Todd Wren. The play erupts with dark humor alongside its ferocious confrontations, giving you reasons to laugh even as the family unravels.
This is theater that doesn't look away from uncomfortable truths. Appropriate won the 2024 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, and it offers contemporary audiences a fierce American family story. If you value daring voices in modern theater, Jacobs-Jenkins delivers a night that challenges as much as it entertains.
Choose a February night out that gives you something worth talking about afterward. Explore ticket options for Appropriate at The Jenny Boyd Theatre and plan an evening with drama that doesn't hold back.
