Hugh Gregory Gallagher Theatre presents a Reader’s Theater production of Arthur Miller’s award winning play “All My Sons” for one evening only, April 8 at 7pm. Playwright and essayist Arthur Miller also wrote “Death of A Salesman”, “The Crucible”, and “A View From the Bridge”.
“All My Sons” won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award and the Tony Award for best author and for best direction of a play by Elia Kazan. The 1947 play was twice adapted for film; in 1948, and again in 1987. The play opened on Broadway at the Coronet Theatre in New York City and ran for 328 performances. It starred Ed Begley, Beth Miller, Arthur Kennedy, and Karl Malden. The play is also known for being the inspiration for the name of the band Twenty One Pilots.
It is the sorrowful Post-World War II story about the Keller’s, a seemingly “All American” family, but the father, Joe Keller, has concealed a great secret during the war.
The cast including Craig Brittingham, Bob Chauncey, Katie Cox, Annie Dietz, Ed Langrell, Lisa Roth, Zack Schlag, Heather Scott, Ralph Verteramo, and Richard Vitanovec will perform as a reader’s theater and offers a talk back session following the performance. This is an opportunity for the cast and audience to discuss the play, characters, and HGGT. An interesting question: How far should a man go to secure his family’s well-being? The play delves into deeply moral issues regarding our obligations to our fellow man.
HGGT performs “All My Sons” on April 8 at 7pm at the Bayleigh Chase (formerly William Hill Manor) Auditorium on Dutchman’s Lane, Easton. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students at the door, cash or check. For information, call 443-786-2872.
