MOE AND JACK'S PLACE — THE ROUSE THEATRE
One of the most celebrated Broadway plays in recent years, winning both the Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize, Purpose is a riveting and hilarious new drama that lays bare the influential Jasper family, led by a renowned Civil Rights leader and his formidable wife. When their adult sons return home to celebrate their mother’s birthday, the evening’s polite façade quickly unravels and ignites long-simmering tensions. By the end of the night, accusations fly and secrets are laid bare. The Jaspers are forced into a reckoning with their faith, their legacy and whether the purpose they’ve preached is one they’ve truly lived.
“Unstoppably fierce, funny and ruthless. The highlight of the Broadway season.” – New York Post

Pay What You Can performances are an additional way we try to make live theatre accessible to those who otherwise might not be able to attend our shows. Tickets can be purchased by phone at 513-421-3888 or in person beginning at noon, day of the performance only. Tickets are subject to availability.
Trained volunteers describe the visual elements of the production via a hearing enhancement system, allowing patrons to hear dialogue, music and other sound effects. The description is timed to avoid interfering with dialogue. Before the show and during intermission, show and actor information are shared.
Each Rouse Theatre production offers one signed ASL performance during the show's run.
