Premiering in 2013 at Signature Theatre, *Appropriate* in New York was celebrated as a blazing play that overturns the classic family drama. The New York Times raved, that *Appropriate* is "piercingly clear, with carefully drawn characters who speak in crisp and fluid dialogue. It’s a remarkable and devious play.”

Now, the play comes to Broadway starring Sarah Paulson, now known for her Emmy-winning onscreen career. *Appropriate* is directed by new-play maverick Lila Neugebauer, who has staged similar ensemble works such as *The Wolves* (for which she won the Obie Award), *Miles for Mary* (Drama Desk Award nomination), and *Mrs. Murray’s Menagerie* (Lucille Lortel Award nomination).

## What to watch for

- Sarah Paulson leads the cast. The *American Horror Story* star returns to Broadway for the first time in 13 years as Toni, the divorced eldest daughter in the play.
- Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ plays explore race and legacy. In his play *Gloria*, Jacobs-Jenkins exposed how surviving magazine executives, in the wake of an office shooting, look to use the story for their own competitive gain. In *An Octoroon*, he employs blackface to dissect identity. Now, in *Appropriate* on Broadway, the playwright looks at how one family chooses to manipulate and — per the title — appropriate the disturbing findings on their father’s plantation.
- Jacobs-Jenkins is one of today’s most celebrated writers. The playwright has won the Paula Vogel Award, was named a MacArthur Fellow, and has twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. 
- Second Stage gives acclaimed works a new production. The company was founded in 1979 to produce “second stagings” of American plays by living writers that deserved to reach a wider audience. That mission expanded to producing new plays by a emerging writers, which has helped launch countless careers.

Sarah Paulson returns to Broadway in this limited engagement.


Two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist and MacArthur “Genius” Fellow Branden Jacobs-Jenkins makes his Broadway debut with his singular, explosive family drama *Appropriate*, winner of the Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Play and Best Actress for Sarah Paulson. Join the gathering and get *Appropriate* tickets through June 30 only.

In the *Appropriate* play, the estranged members of the Lafayette clan all return totheir crumbling old plantation home in Arkansas to grieve the loss of their father and settle his accounts. As the family members all sift through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, the sudden discovery of a graphic relic descends the family into a dark spiral of crackling confrontations, repressed histories, and regret. Jacobs-Jenkins’s searing and timely drama is one of this season’s most critically acclaimed plays.

Emmy Award winner Sarah Paulson (*American Horror Story*, *American Crime Story*) leads the cast alongside Emmy nominee Elle Fanning (*The Great*) and Golden Globe nominee Corey Stoll (*House of Cards*). Drama Desk and Obie Award winner Lila Neugebauer, another acclaimed theatre veteran, directs the show after staging the original Off-Broadway production. 

The play marks many special occasions: *Appropriate* on Broadway is part of Second Stage’s 45th anniversary season and is the first time Sarah Paulson — whose New York theatre credits include *The Sisters Rosensweig* (1993), *The Glass Menagerie* (2005), and *Collected Stories* (2010) — has been on Broadway in 13 years.

She stars as Toni, the family’s oldest daughter, who hopes her family will spend their weekend reminiscing and reconnecting. But when Toni’s estranged brother Franz unexpectedly appears late one night, long-hidden secrets and buried resentments can’t be contained. At this particular reunion, the family won’t only be seeing one another again but also the ghosts of their past.

Sarah Catharine Paulson is a stage and screen actress who has received Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Awards in her three-decade career. She was born December 17, 1974 in Tampa, Florida, but she moved to New York City in early childhood. She began her acting career right out of high school, making her Broadway debut in 1994 as an understudy in Wendy Wasserstein's *The Sisters Rosensweig*.

The actress also regularly returns to the stage.
