BWW REVIEW: Tamara Tunie in AMERICAN SON at Barrington Stage Company

Kendra Ellis-Connor is living every mother's worst nightmare. Her son is missing. It's now four o'clock in the morning and she's at the police station trying to get answers.

Her son's disappearance and the station's lack of information raise questions. Kendra has a hunch why. Both she and her son are black.
