Ketanji Brown Jackson has fulfilled another one of her life’s goals.

The first Black woman to sit on the Supreme Court appeared in a Broadway show on Saturday when she took the stage in a one-night performance in “& Juliet.”

After the walk-on role, Jackson participated in a talkback with the audience following the performance.

The show had not shared details about Jackson’s role. The entertainment publication Deadline reported that the justice would take on an ensemble spot that was created for her.

In her memoir “Lovely One,” which the show cited in its announcement, the justice shared that, in her application essay to Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate and law degrees, she wrote that it was her fantasy to be “the first Black, female Supreme Court justice to appear on a Broadway stage.”
