The production runs now through April 19, 2015 on the Claire Tow Stage in the C. Newton Schenck III Theatre. Press night was April 1. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

The cast includes Sung Yun Cho (Merrell), Curtiss Cook Jr. (Tray), Catrina Ganey (Lena), Anthony Martinez-Briggs (Junior/Brooklyn College student), and Kaatje Welsh (Devine).

Eighteen-year-old Tray has a bright future. His little sister needs him to be a good brother. His grandma wants him to be a good man. He needs to write his college essay. He's got to train for his boxing tournament. It seems sometimes that everyone has a story they want to tell about Tray. The thing is, Tray's going to tell his own story. A play described by Variety as "... big hearted in its belief in forgiveness," brownsville song (b-side for tray) takes the measure of one young life.

Tickets are $5-$40 and are available by calling 203-787-4282 or visiting www.longwharf.org.
