Career
In 2013 Jacob-Jenkins became a member of the Signature Theatre Residency Five program. The program
"guarantees three full productions of new work."[4]

Neighbors premiered Off-Broadway at the Public Theater/Public LAB in February - March 2010,[5][6]
and was presented at the Matrix Theatre Company, Los Angeles in August 2010, directed by Nataki
Garrett. The play was produced by the Mixed Blood Theater, Minneapolis, Minnesota in September to
October 2011, also directed by Nataki Garrett.[7] It premiered in Boston in 2011 with Company One.

He received the 2014 Obie Award for Best New American Play for his plays Appropriate and An
Octoroon.[1][8]
An Octoroon is an adaptation of The Octoroon by Dion Boucicault. It first ran at Performance Space New
York from June 24 to July 3, 2010.[9] It ran Off-Off-Broadway at the Soho Rep in April 2014 to June
2014 and then at the Polonsky Shakespeare Center, Brooklyn, New York, from February 2015 to March
29, 2015.[10][11] Artists Repertory Theatre, Portland, Oregon, staged An Octoroon from September 3 to
October 1, 2017.[12]

Appropriate was produced Off-Broadway by the Signature Theatre, at the Pershing Square Signature
Center, from March 16, 2014 to April 13, 2014. The play was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle
Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play, and also won 2014 Obie Awards for Direction (Liesl
Tommy) and Performance (Johanna Day).[13][14] Michael Billington in his review of the 2019 production
at the Donmar Warehouse (London), wrote: "...he appropriates the classic American family drama with
results that are both gravely serious and mordantly funny...What is exhilarating about the play is that
Jacobs-Jenkins pushes everything to the limits."[15] The play opened on Broadway at the Hayes Theater
in December 2023.[16] It won 3 Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play, from 8 nominations.[17]

War premiered at the Yale Repertory Theatre, New Haven, in December 2014, as a commission from the
Yale Rep. Directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, the cast featured Tonya Pinkins, Philippe Bowgen, Rachael
Holmes, Greg Keller and Trezana Beverley.[18] War opened at the Lincoln Center LCT3 series Off-
Broadway on May 21, 2016 in previews, officially on June 6, directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz, and ran
through July 3.[19][20][21] He wrote War while on a Fulbright Fellowship in Germany.[1][22]

Everybody was produced Off-Broadway by the Signature Theatre, and opened on January 31, 2017 in
previews, officially on February 21. The play is "a modern riff on one of the oldest plays in the English
language." Everybody is suggested by the 15th-century morality play Everyman.[23] Directed by Lila
Neugebauer, the cast includes Jocelyn Bioh, Brooke Bloom, Michael Braun, Marylouise Burke, Louis
Cancelmi, Lilyana Tiare Cornell, David Patrick Kelly, Lakisha Michelle May and Chris Perfetti. The role
of Everybody is chosen by lottery.[24][23][25] Jacobs-Jenkins explained the play: "The concept...is that
every night there’ll be a different Everyman, chosen by lottery, so the cast will shift a lot. This may be an
insane idea. We’re assuming all these lovely actors are going to memorize the entire script.”[26]
Everybody was a finalist for the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.[27]

His play Girls premiered at Yale Repertory Theatre from October 4, 2019 to October 26. The play was
directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz and choreographed by Raja Feather Kelly. The play is a contemporary
version of Euripides’ Greek tragedy The Bacchae, and contains dance music and live-streaming
video.[28][29]

His work has been seen at The Public Theater, Signature Theater, PS122, Soho Rep, Yale Repertory
Theatre, Actors Theater of Louisville, The Matrix Theatre in Los Angeles, Mixed Blood Theatre in
Minneapolis, the Wilma Theater (Philadelphia), CompanyOne and SpeakEasy Stage in Boston, Theater

UK.[30]

semester. He is joined by Annie Baker, with whom he served as co-artistic directors for the MFA
playwriting program at Hunter College of the City University of New York.[32]
His play Purpose will transfer to Broadway's Helen Hayes Theater beginning in February of 2025 after a
critically acclaimed run at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre.[33]

Gloria
Gloria was produced Off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre from June 15, 2015 to July 18, 2015 and was
directed by Evan Cabnet.[34] The play received a workshop at the Vineyard Theatre in January 2013.[35]
The play concerns an "ambitious group of editorial assistants at a notorious Manhattan magazine."[36]
Gloria was nominated for the 2016 Lucille Lortel Award, Outstanding Play.[37] Gloria was a finalist for
the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.[38] The Pulitzer committee wrote: "A play of wit and irony that deftly
transports the audience from satire to thriller and back again."[39] Gloria received two nominations for
the Outer Critics Circle Award: Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play; and Outstanding Director of a
Play.[40] The play was nominated for the 2016 Drama League Award for Outstanding Production of a
Broadway or Off-Broadway Play.[41]

A production was staged at London's Hampstead Theatre in June and July 2017.[42]

A production was staged at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theater opening in February 2020
and closed early due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A livestream of the show was made available for a
limited time.[43][44]

Honors
He received the Helen Merrill Award in Playwrighting, Emerging Playwright category, in 2011.[45]

He received the Paula Vogel Award from the Vineyard Theatre in 2011. The award is "presented annually
to an emerging writer of exceptional promise." He was in residence at the Vineyard Theatre in 2011
because of the award.[35][46]

He was given the Steinberg Playwrights Award in 2015. Paige Evans, the artistic director of LCT3 said
that his "plays are fiercely intelligent, ambitious, and boldly theatrical.... They challenge, entertain, and
unsettle audiences, making us laugh, gasp, and think deeply about race, class, personal ambition, and
other complex issues.”[47]

He received the Windham–Campbell Literature Prize (Drama) at Yale University in 2016; the prize
includes a cash amount of $150,000.[48][49] He received the 2016 PEN/Laura Pels Theater Award,
Emerging American Playwright.[50][51] In 2016, he also received a Creative Capital award with
collaborating artist Carmelita Tropicana.[52]

He was named a MacArthur Fellow, Class of 2016. The fellowship comes with a monetary award of
$625,000, made in installments over five years.[53] The foundation noted, in part: "Many of Jacobs-
Jenkins’s plays use a historical lens to satirize and comment on modern culture, particularly the ways in
which race and class are negotiated in both private and public settings."[54]

In 2018, Jacobs-Jenkins was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for his play Everybody.[55]
In 2020, he was awarded USA Artists and John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
Fellowships.[56]
