    All My Sons: An American Family in Full View

    “Guilty as charged,” admits co-artistic director Geoff Elliott. “I’m ashamed to say that, like so many people, my familiarity with Arthur Miller began and ended with his most-produced plays, Death of a Salesman and The Crucible, even through my days at ACT.” “It wasn’t until 1994,” he says, “when Julia and I were looking at…

    Summer with Shakespeare Springs to Success!
