Theatre Inconnu

FINAL WEEK!

The Comeuppance
By Brendan Jacobs-Jenkins

Playing until May 23

When a group of old classmates meet to pregame their twentieth high school reunion, everyone is nervous for the night ahead. As alcohol and pot help the self-declared “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” let their guards down, they begin to reminisce about their teenage selves and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Did their friendships stand the test of time, or will they realize they don’t have as much in common as they thought they did? Brilliantly witty, theatrical, and moving.

Actual audience comments:
"a rare treat… well-directed, simply designed, beautifully acted."
"This feels closely observed and lived in, like a conversation you might overhear at the next table one night."
"So brilliantly done in all aspects! "
"Very engaging show - like a modern, diverse Big Chill, with an interesting twist"

As alcohol and pot help the self-declared “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” let their guards down, they begin to reminisce about their teenage selves and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Did their friendships stand the test of time, or will they realize they don’t have as much in common as they thought they did? Brilliantly witty, theatrical, and moving, The Comeuppance focuses on millennials and their reckoning with the world they will soon inherit.
