Playing @
Huntington Theatre Company
264 Huntington Avenue, Boston , MA 02115
A former rapper, a DJ, and a showtunes-loving telesales director have become an unlikely group who hang out and spar about music on a stoop in Queens.

But when an impromptu rap battle erupts between two younger female emcees, everything gets questioned.

With raw emotion and uproarious humor, The Purists asks, what is friendship? How can we embrace new ideas? And what does it mean to be wholly yourself?
