An Octoroon is a compelling performer whose work sits at the intersection of melodrama and metatheatre, rooted in the adaptation of Dion Boucicault’s The Octoroon. Created by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, a renowned playwright and 2016 MacArthur Fellow who later earned the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Purpose, An Octoroon’s performances bring a sharp, insightful reflection on race, storytelling, and theatrical convention. The material has been produced by regional and college theatres with licensing through Concord Theatricals, ensuring accessible, professional productions across the country.
