When a group of millennial classmates meet to pregame for their twentieth high school reunion, everyone is nervous for the night ahead. As alcohol and weed help the self-declared “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” let their guards down, they begin to reminisce and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Did their friendships stand the test of time? Why do they remember certain moments from their past differently? From Pulitzer Prize–winning and two-time Tony Award–winning playwright Branden Jacob-Jenkins (Gloria) comes a new profound tragicomedy about the reunion that awaits us all.
"It was such an honor to be among Pam MacKinnon's first seasons of programming with my play Gloria back in 2020. Now it seems an even greater honor to be part of her last. The Comeuppance is a play very close to my heart and I'm so happy to mark my return to A.C.T. and re-meet the Bay Area audiences with it."—Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
