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.
The Barn Theatre is presenting its second production of its 95th season: American Son. Directed by Scott Baird and Fallon King. Written by Christopher Demos-Brown, performed in Montville, NJ: November 18 th through December 4th.

Their disparate histories and backgrounds inform their assumptions as they try to find out what happened to their son. 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.
