Eighteen-year-old Tray has a bright future. His little sister needs him to be a good brother. His grandma wants him to be a good man. He needs to write his college essay. He's got to train for his boxing tournament. It seems sometimes that everyone has a story they want to tell about Tray. The thing is, Tray's going to tell his own story. A play described by Variety as "... big hearted in its belief in forgiveness," brownsville song (b-side for tray) takes the measure of one young life.
