A quartet of stage alums returned to Broadway as Christopher Demos-Brown's American Son celebrated its official opening at the Booth Theatre November 4. The Kenny Leon-directed production began performances last month.

The play, which premiered at Barrington Stage Company in 2016, is set in a Miami police station in the middle of the night as a separated, interracial couple reunites and grapples with the disappearance of their teenage son.
The Broadway revival starring Steve Carell and William Jackson Harper opened April 24. Laurence Fishburne and Edie Falco were among those in attendance.
