A note on DIVERSITY | Sonny Boy is a story that reminds us no single group has ownership of the human condition. The power of stories has always lied in its ability to unite people of all backgrounds. From the ancient Greeks whose words were believed to hold up the pillars of the universe, to tribes in Africa who passed down traditions huddled around a campfire, the cross-cultural themes make it clear that all storytellers matter.

SYNOPSIS | After a failed writing career, a Korean-Italian American playwright struggles to find his way after returning home to reconcile with his dying father. Sonny Caso soon discovers life back home has changed as much as he has. Sonny tries to make peace with a broken dream before finding a second calling as a high school teacher. Still, his gift for shaping young lives falls short of the expectations of an ambitious father. Sonny tries to make amends before it’s too late, but still can’t find the approval he’s always wanted. Just when it seems Sonny has finally forged his own path, he makes an inexcusable mistake with a troubled student. Returning home is Sonny’s undoing and the chance to discover who he can still become.
