‘Purpose’ actor Kara Young

Actor Kara Young has been nominated for four Tony Awards in four consecutive years — and is the first Black actor (and only the second overall) to do so. Young currently appears in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Purpose” as Aziza.

Here, Young tells host Ruthie Fierberg, executive editor of Broadway News, about her history-making moment, the essence of her character and the change in her from performing “Purpose.”
