Washington will star opposite Broadway veteran Steven Pasquale for the debut of Christopher Demos-Brown’s play directed by Tony Award winner Kenny Leon.
American Son delves into race relations in America following two parents in a Florida police station as they grapple with a crisis involving their son.
“Growing up in New York I wanted to be onstage before anything else. My original ideas of what performance looked like, what acting looked like, were from Broadway,” Washington said in a statement.
The opportunity to play the parent of a biracial missing teenager convinced her that this should be her next on-stage project, “I was so transfixed by the material,” she said. “It had such a deep and profound impact on me and I just couldn’t wait to get it on its feet.”
American Son will begin performances on October 6 for a limited engagement at the Booth Theatre.
