What to watch for

Actress Kerry Washington was so intrigued by the play’s script when she first read it that — despite an early morning on set call for “Scandal” — she “couldn’t put it down,” she admits.

“American Son” marks playwright Christopher Demos-Brown’s Broadway debut.

The play received its world premiere at Barrington Stage Company in 2016.

“American Son” is the winner of the Laurents/Hatcher Award for Best New Play by an Emerging Playwright.

This is the sixth of Christopher Demos-Brown’s plays, which all deal with legal or religious issues.
