Paulson currently stars in Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's Appropriate at the Belasco Theatre. The work centers on a white family who, while closing out the estate of their late father, discover some disturbing artifacts that force them to confront their family's past. The play was previously produced in 2014 Off-Broadway at Signature Theatre.
