According to Reuters, actress Kerry Washington is returning to Broadway. Washington is best known for her Emmy-nominated role on the TV drama “Scandal.” But this week she once again graces the Broadway stage in the new play “American Son.” The play is a four-character story set in a Florida police station. It tells of a mother and father who are seeking information about their missing son. It was written by Christopher Demos-Brown, a trial attorney in Southern Florida. Brown said the play's emotional impetus came from police shootings of African-Americans. The 90-minute production of “American Son” opens on Sunday for a limited engagement. Washington previously appeared on Broadway in 2009 in David Mamet's play “Race.”
