MY SON THE PLAYWRIGHT features Justin Tanner in a deeply personal exploration of a father-son relationship. Set against the backdrop of Douglas's apartment in Salinas, California, the play unfolds as he grapples with his emotions while awaiting his son's arrival, weaving through memories filled with humor and tension. Tanner's portrayal captures both the father's regrets and the son's hesitations as they confront decades of estrangement and longing for connection. This immersive theatrical experience draws out the complexities of love, jealousy, and the pursuit of redemption.
