S1E21: Discovering American Son by Christopher Demos-Brown | Second Stage Podcast

This week, we wrap up our July series for America's 250th with American Son, Christopher Demos-Brown’s gripping 2018 drama. The play features two parents (a black mom and a white father) desperately searching for answers after their teenage son Jamal goes missing following a traffic stop. What starts as a search for information spirals scene after scene into a relentless and unsolvable argument about race, rights, family, identity, and the complicated ways we experience America.Second Stage is a Free Zone Radio production.
