The Alliance Theatre’s 58th season opens with a play that arrives already carrying weight: a Pulitzer Prize, a Tony Award, and a Broadway run that left audiences still talking.

Purpose, written by @brandenjacobsjenkins , follows a powerful political family as old loyalties, secrets, and ambitions unravel in real time—sharp-witted, deeply funny, and unflinching. This is a production you’ll want to see before it’s gone. 🎭 August 28 – September 20 📍The Coca-Cola Stage, Alliance Theatre 🎟️ Tickets on sale now: alliancetheatre.org/production/2026-27/purpose/ Photos by Anna Walters #AllianceTheatre #Purpose #AtlantaTheatre #TonyAward
