Photo Flash: George Street Playhouse Presents AMERICAN SON
American Son, which earned the 2016 Laurents/Hatcher Foundation Award for a new play by an emerging playwright, is a ripped-from-the-headlines drama by Christopher Demos-Brown. The emotionally charged play stars George Street favorites John Bolger (GSP's Outside Mullingar, Twelve Angry Men) and SuzzAnne Douglas (GSP's Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Wit), as well as Mark Junek (Broadway's The Performers) and Mark Kenneth Smaltz (Law & Order: SVU). Performances run now through February 26, 2017.
Helming George Street Playhouse's production is Artistic Director David Saint, celebrating his 20th anniversary at The Playhouse.
Jamal's car has been pulled over in the middle of the night. His mother (Douglas) and her estranged husband (Bolger) rush to the police station seeking answers and their son's whereabouts. With no explanation forthcoming and emotions building, this highly charged drama twists and turns to an explosive conclusion.
