Kara Young Makes Tony Award History And Finds ‘Purpose’ In Broadway – The Deadline Q&A
Kara Young has already made Tony Award history by becoming the first Black person to receive Tony acting nominations in four consecutive years.
This season she is giving yet another nominated gem of a performance in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ play as Aziza, a young New York lesbian who, during the Covid lockdown, has become friends with her safe-distance (and asexual) neighbor Naz (John Michael Hill). The Pulitzer Prize-winning Purpose is written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins play and directed Plylicia Rashad and stars LaTanya Richardson Jackson, Harry Lennix, Jon Michael Hill, Glenn Davis, Alana Arenas, Kara Young. DEADLINE: You’re one of two people in the world, along with Laurie Metcalf, who can answer this question: Does it get any easier or does it change in some way after four consecutive times being nominated for a Tony Award.
