Appropriate opened December 18, 2023, at the Hayes after beginning previews November 29. The production transferred theatres because Mother Play by Paula Vogel was moving into the Hayes. The production marks Jacobs-Jenkins' Broadway playwriting debut, following a credit in 2022 for contributing additional material to Lincoln Center Theater's revival of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. Lila Neugebauer is directing. Read the reviews here.
