SUMMARY:Dobama Hosts Regional Premiere by Acclaimed Off-Broadway Playwright
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 3/12-Sat 4/4\nEast Coast-based playwright Branden Jacobs-
 Jenkins is red-hot right now: his play Purpose\, his first to be staged on
  Broadway\, won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama\; two of his earlier pla
 ys were finalists in 2016 and 2018. He initially made a splash with his 20
 14 off-Broadway show An Octoroon. He’s been a MacArthur and Guggenheim F
 ellow and won a Fulbright Award.\nBefore Purpose\, he wrote The Comeuppanc
 e\, which was performed off Broadway in 2023. It has a Big Chill sort of p
 remise: it revolves around five high school classmates reassembling before
  their 20th reunion and\, with tongues loosened by pot and alcohol\, start
  to share how their lives have gone\, reflecting on the passage of time\, 
 aging and death. “But amid the flow of reminiscing\, an otherworldly pre
 sence forces these friends to face the past head-on\,” we’re told.\nTh
 e play is described as a “comedy" by Dobama Theatre which will present i
 ts regional premiere\, directed by Nina Domingue. Hopefully that’s accur
 ate because it’s 130 minutes (two+ hours) with no intermission\, so hope
 fully there’s levity to relieve the intension. The cast includes Ananias
  J. Dixon\, Mariah Burks\, Roxana Bell\, Rachel Lee Kolis and Ricky Ortega
  as the former classmates.\nThe Comeuppance runs through Saturday April 4.
