Brandon Jacbobs-Jenkins’ Appropriate, directed by Jessica Wallenfels, will be performed in Mago Hunt Theater from October 4-8 at 7:30 p.m. (2 p.m. Sunday). Tickets are available through Mago Hunt Box Office at x7287.
Three adult siblings return to their Arkansas homestead upon the death of the family patriarch. While going through his belongings, an old photo album turns up, providing evidence of a disturbing secret past. The doubts caused by this unpleasant discovery shake the family’s foundations as it grapples with the legacy of racism.
Join us for informal post-show discussions that illuminate themes from the play and their relationship to our community. Thursday, October 5 will feature a panel discussion, “Of Theft and Destruction: American Legacies in Appropriate,” featuring faculty, administrators and students from UP and PSU.
