Rehearsals are already underway for our first production of the year, Arthur Miller’s classic All My Sons<\/em>. Bringing the show to life will be challenging. The piece is incredibly rich, demanding, and complex- another reason to start early.<\/p>\n

The play revolves around Joe Keller and his family. During World War II Keller and his neighbor, Herbert Deever, ran a machine shop that made airplane parts for military planes. Deever went to jail for sending defective parts out of the shop, causing the deaths of dozens of American soldiers. Keller was exonerated and built a life for himself and his family. These parallel stories pick up early one August morning when a storm takes out the tree dedicated to Joe\u2019s oldest son who was reported missing in action during the war. This symbolic event, along with Keller\u2019s youngest son\u2019s proposal to Ann Deever and the return of a bitter George Deever, sets the wheels in motion for the action of the play that ultimately unearths devastating truths long-buried by Keller and his wife.<\/p>\n

The cast sat down last Thursday for our read through of the play. A read through is when the cast and production team get together to hear the cast read the play out loud for the first time. Typically there is lots of stumbling over new words and questions about the plot and various relationships in the story.\u00a0 However, last Thursday there was already dynamic energy between our actors and their passion for the play and characters was palpable. With that much excitement at the read through one can only guess where the rehearsal process will take us.<\/p>\n
