As relevant today as it was when first produced, All My Sons is a powerful story of guilt, secrets, morality, and families. Joe Keller and Herbert Deever ran a machine shop that made parts for World War II planes. Pressured to fill an order, Keller knowingly supplied the Army with defective parts, which caused the planes to crash, killing 21 men. When called to account, Keller engineered his own exoneration and falsely accused Deever. Now, Keller’s son is to marry Deever’s daughter, and Keller’s lie is revealed.

Performances of All My Sons are March 25 through April 17, 2011. Shows are Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Tickets are $13 for Thursdays; $16 for Fridays – Sundays. All My Sons is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc.

Wheaton Drama will close its 2010-2011 season with the musical, 1776.
