Ketanji Brown Jackson is set to fulfill another one of her life’s goals as the first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court. She is scheduled to make a special appearance in a Broadway show called “& Juliet” on Saturday for a one-night performance. The show announced on Instagram that Jackson will have a walk-on role in the 8 p.m. ET show and will engage in a talkback session with the audience after the performance.
While the specific details of Jackson’s role were not disclosed by the show, it was reported by Deadline that she will take on an ensemble spot specially created for her. In her memoir “Lovely One,” Jackson expressed her aspiration to be the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage in her application essay to Harvard University, where she obtained her undergraduate and law degrees.
