Actors sought for ‘All My Sons’ production

NEW MILFORD —TheatreWorks New Milford is seeking 5 males and 3 females for Arthur Miller's award-winning drama, “All My Sons.” Auditions will be held on Sunday June 24, 2-5 p.m., and Monday June 25, 7-9 p.m. at TheatreWorks, 5 Brookside Avenue (20 Elm St Extension for GPS), New Milford.

The story: During the war Joe Keller and Steve Deever ran a machine shop which made airplane parts. Deever was sent to prison because the firm turned out defective parts, causing the deaths of many men. Keller went free and made a lot of money. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.

The love affair of Chris Keller and Ann Deever, the bitterness of George Deever returned from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, are all set in a structure of almost unbearable power. The climax showing the reaction of a son to his guilty father is fitting conclusion to a play electrifying in its intensity.

All roles except Joe and Kate Keller are available, and both professionals and amateurs are welcome. This is a non-Equity theater and there is no compensation.

Audition requirements and sides can be found at http:// theatreworks.us/actors/index.php, starting May 28. The director is Jane Farnol of Kent.

Rehearsals begin in August with performances running weekends Sept. 21 through Oct. 13. For information, call 860-3506863 or email info@theatreworks.us.
