Photos: First Look at AMERICAN SON at The Barn Theatre
This timely and important piece of theater is more than just a play. It is an examination into race, relationships, parenting, mental health, policing and more.

Members of the cast: Tasha Williams-Arroyo (Union, NJ), Seth Kaplan (River Vale, NJ), Byron Hagan (Whippany, NJ) and Ron Richardson (Maplewood, NJ).
This timely and important piece of theater is more than just a play. It is an examination into race, relationships, parenting, mental health, policing and more. Compelling and thought provoking, this piece of theatre allows for the audience members to walk away finding themselves within each character and with a greater sense of compassion and understanding.
