AMERICAN SON Opens the 2021-22 Season

With the opening of American Son by Christopher Demos-Brown, The Dayton Playhouse stages a modern American drama that shines a contemporary light on a very old problem. The play invites the audience to examine their preconceptions and biases, while following a drama about the interactions between African Americans and American Police forces.

The cast of Teresa Lynn, Robert Brumberg, Nathan Evans, and Franklin Johnson have been hard at work since July to bring this script to life and return live theater to the Playhouse stage. This production is directed by Tim Rezash.

"With its unrelentingly high tension on every level - maternal, marital, societal - it’s more like a slice of a nightmare, with few contours despite its surprises." - The New York Times

This is a show you'll want to be able to say, "I saw it at The Dayton Playhouse."

Six powerful performances, opening on Friday, September 17, 2021 at 8 PM. Friday and Saturday performances start at 8 PM; Sunday matinees are at 2 PM. The closing performance will be Sunday, September 26, 2021.
