Appropriate

Appropriate, a play by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, is a family drama that explores themes of race, history, and inheritance. The story centers on the Lafayette family as they gather at their ancestral Arkansas home to settle the estate of their recently deceased patriarch, uncovering unsettling secrets in the process. It's a sharp, often uncomfortable look at how the past resonates in the present. This production of Appropriate runs on Wednesday, February 17, 2027, at The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville. The Jenny Boyd is known for its intimate theatrical setting, which should suit the play's intense character interactions. Audiences who appreciate contemporary American drama with a critical edge will likely find this engaging.
