Arthur Miller’s All My Sons

Family is Focus in VISTA Productions Fall Play

VISTA Productions at Visitation School and Saint Thomas Academy will perform Arthur Miller’s All My Sons November 4 - 6 and 11 - 13 at Visitation School in Mendota Heights.

The cast and crew have been working hard to bring Arthur Miller’s challenging drama to the stage. Studying the text has brought about many thought-provoking discussions within the cast and production staff. The process of creating the characters and building the relationships between them onstage continues to be a rich experience as the actors prepare for opening night.

All My Sons, Arthur Miller's first successful Broadway play, is a post-World War II drama about the Kellers, a seemingly All American family, and their struggle to find balance after the oldest son, Larry, is reported lost in the war. The mother, Kate, clutches onto the belief that her son is still alive even after three and a half years. It is this belief that enables her to continue to support her husband Joe, concealing the truth of a dreadful crime that he committed. Joe is a self-made man who struggles for success and the American Dream, holding prosperity and the love for his family above all else. The play examines the moral dilemma of placing the comfort of one's own family above the larger responsibility to humankind and their safety.

November 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m.
November 6 and 13 at 4:00 p.m.
Adults $10, Students and Seniors $5
