American Son

WORLD PREMIERE

By CHRISTOPHER DEMOS-BROWN
Directed by JULIANNE BOYD

Winner of the prestigious Laurents/Hatcher Award for Best New Play of 2016, this explosive new drama examines our nation’s racial divide through the eyes of an estranged, interracial couple. Over the course of one evening, the couple’s disparate backgrounds collide as they confront an unexpected crisis involving their son, the police, and an abandoned car.
