American Song
 

Seemingly ripped straight out of today’s headlines, American Song is an intimate and deeply moving meditation on what it means to be a parent in a changing world and a searing and unforgettable exploration of the story and song that is America.

“A miraculous masterpiece. An incomparable and utterly transcendent play” – Broadway World
