The Comeuppance
By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
The Comeuppance, directed By Josh Lombard, is a darkly comic, haunting play that brings old friends together for a high school reunion, where humor collides with mortality and time. Known for his inventive, provocative storytelling, Jacobs-Jenkins has also written Gloria, Everybody, and An Octoroon. In 2025, he won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Purpose, further cementing his place as one of the most important playwrights of his generation.

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. Click here to learn more about us and our story.
