ALL MY SONS

“All My Sons” is not Arthur Miller’s most famous play. But Miller might not have written “Death of a Salesman” if not for the success of “All My Sons.”

Miller wrote the post-World War II drama as a last-ditch effort at successful playwriting after his “The Man Who Had All the Luck” closed after just four performances on Broadway. “All My Sons” ran for 328 performances in 1947 and won the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award.

City Repertory Theatre’s final three performances of Miller’s play will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 5-6, and 3 p.m. Sunday, May 7. The play stars Thomas Muniz as

Joe Keller, Anna Hobbs as Ann Deever (together in the scene pictured), Gaston King as Chris Keller and Julia Davidson Truilo as Kate Keller.

Tickets for “All My Sons” at City Repertory Theatre are available at crtpalmcoast.com or 386-585-9415. –BRENT WORONOFF
