Fathers and Sons

What is it to be a ‘father’, a ‘son,’ a ‘husband,’ a ‘man’? Fathers and Sons is a thoughtful, rich, and poignant mediation on these eternal questions. Marcus, his father Leon, and grandfather Bernard confront a history of absence, mistakes, mistrust, and broken promises as they strive to redefine themselves as fathers and sons. Initially wary of each other, they come together in the midst of a family crisis and ultimately discover that “ain’t nothing a good love can’t heal.” Fathers and Sons represents the third project to be produced at ACT from the Hansberry Project, a professional Black theatre company dedicated to the artistic exploration of African American life, history, and culture.
