THE COMEUPPANCE
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
APRIL 2026
Headwall Theatre Company’s revival of The Comeuppance marks its first production in the five boroughs since its 2023 premiere at Signature Theatre. On the night of their 20th high school reunion, the self-proclaimed “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” gathers for the first time in years to pregame the party. As jungle juice and weed flow, they reminisce, wrestle with the fickleness of memory, and try to reconcile who they once were with who they have become. But when one unexpected guest forces a reckoning with the past, the evening takes a haunting, funny, and deeply unsettling turn. The Comeuppance is a darkly comic meditation on friendship, mortality, and time.
A THOUSAND NATURAL SHOCKS

Kennedy is doing okay! Her depression is under control, she’s got a stable job, and her wife adores her. But when the couple decides to make a baby, they must navigate the chaos of IVF, the inevitability of pain, and the Tik-Tok teen crashing on their couch.

ABOUT US
Our mission, vision, and values
Our Mission
On a mountain, the headwall is the most challenging part of a climb.
At Headwall Theatre, we support theatre-makers as they try a role for the first time with the guidance of experienced mentors, and ascend towards nimble, versatile artistry. From our base camp in Queens, we nurture a community where neighbors step into the theatre, and artists step eagerly into each other’s boots.
Our Vision
We envision a thriving and collaborative theatre community in Queens where individuals from diverse backgrounds come together to celebrate shared interests, explore different points of view, and foster a sense of belonging. By creating a world where more people stand in each other’s boots and try each other’s jobs, we foster empathic understanding and inspire our community to ascend our collective challenges in harmony.
Our Core Values
ACCESSIBILITY is the boots, SUPPORT is the harness, COLLABORATION is the Base Camp.
