After American Son

Conversations about race, racism, and the criminal justice system in this country have never been more critical – or more complicated. The events that take place during TheaterWorks Hartford’s gripping new play AMERICAN SON are unsettling, real, and all too common across today’s headlines.

On December 4 we will continue the conversation started by American Son with a panel of experts including Captain Gary Wallace of the Middletown Police Department, Yvette Highsmith-Francis, Vice President at Community Health Center, and Precious Price of the Middletown Racial Justice Coalition. Our goal is to bridge the divide between community and law enforcement. We won’t find all the answers – but we hope to ask all of the right questions. This event is free and open to the public.

It is encouraged that attendees have seen American Son at TheaterWorks Hartford or watch the Netflix adaptation.
