A self-proclaimed “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” reconvenes for the first time in years to pregame for their twentieth high school reunion. Over alcohol and other such substances, they try to reconnect who they once were with who they’ve each become.

The Comeuppance is playing in the Alice Griffin Jewel Box Theatre. The running time is approximately 2 hours and 10 minutes.

The Comeuppance takes the place of Jacobs-Jenkins’ previously-announced Grass.
