All My
Sons
a drama by Arthur Miller
directed by Michael Payne
Performs March 26-April 17, 2010
***Special student matinee at 10:30 a.m. April 9***
Rehearsals begin approximately Feb 15
SYNOPSIS: Winner of the Drama Critics' Award
for Best New Play in 1947, All My Sons established Arthur Miller as a leading
voice in the American theater, and introduced themes that thread through his
work as a whole: the relationships between fathers and sons, and the conflict
between business and personal ethics. Joe Keller’s company manufactures engine
parts for the Air Force. During WWII he sent them defective parts, and as a
result, 21 pilots died. Joe has let his business partner take the blame for it.
Joe's oldest son, Larry, a pilot, is missing and presumed dead, although Mrs.
Keller refuses to give up hope that he is still alive. Joe's
younger son, Chris, is determined to set the truth free at all costs, and Joe
must realize that the dead pilots "were all my sons."
CAST: 5 Men, 4 Women, 1 Boy.
Joe Keller (late 50s-60s) A successful businessman, but an uneducated man
who has been holding on to a secret for several years.
Kate Keller (50s) Joe’s wife. A high-strung and fiercely opinionated
woman with an overwhelming capacity for love. She has been keeping a secret,
along with her husband, and she believes with a passion that her son Larry is
not dead.
Chris Keller (early 30s) The younger son who is in love with Ann, his
brother’s former girlfriend. He does not want to take over his father’s
business, but rather follow his own dreams.
Ann Deever (mid to late 20s) Larry’s former girlfriend who is now ready
to marry Chris. She has a sweet nature, but she’s no pushover.
George Deever (early 30s) Ann’s brother and a lawyer. He arrives to
vindicate his father and what he now believes was an unjust conviction, and to
keep Ann from marrying Chris. Very emotional character.
Dr. Jim Bayliss (late 30s-40s) A neighbor of the Kellers and town doctor.
He has caved into his wife’s pressure and given up on his dreams of being a
research doctor.
Sue Bayliss (40) A bit of a nag. She enjoys the prestige of being a
doctor’s wife and the income it affords. She was once a nurse and is suspicious
of her husband’s female patients.
Frank Lubey (45-60) A neighbor of the Kellers who does horoscope charts.
Lydia Lubey (late 20s) Frank’s friendly and attractive wife who is quick
to laugh.
Bert (appears 8, but would consider an older child who could pass for 8
onstage) A precocious, active, inquisitive boy.
Fugue
a drama by Lee Thuna
directed by Brett Young
Performs May 15-June 5, 2010
Rehearsals begin approximately April 5
SYNOPSIS: A woman is found wandering the streets of Chicago, her feet
blistered and bloodied. The doctors recognize this as a symptom of the “fugue”
stage of amnesia, where the victim is literally running away from an intolerable
memory. A young psychiatrist is assigned to her case who is running away from
his own demons – a mistake he made with a patient early in his career. The
closer he gets to piecing together the puzzle of the woman’s life, the more she
longs to run. If she remembers the terrible occurrence that sent her running,
will he be repeating the mistake he made before? Winner of the American Theatre
Critics Circle Award for Best Play in Regional Theatre. “Fugue is a
masterpiece…as charming as it is terrifying, as honest as it is dark, intriguing
as it is engaging.” – UK Theatre Network.
CAST: 5 Men, 3 Women.
Mary (45-55) Both comedic and dramatic. An attractive woman suffering
from a rare form of amnesia. At different times, she is vulnerable, combative,
spaced-out, and perceptive. Onstage for almost the entire play.
Dr. Danny Lucchesi (30s) Very bright and intuitive, but suffers from some
inner demons that have prevented him from being the top psychiatrist he is
capable of being.
Mother (70s but is in her 50s & 60s in flashback scenes) Cheerful,
outgoing woman who is devoted to her daughter & granddaughter and very
protective of them. Born in Vienna, so speaks with a slight accent (mostly
substituting V’s for W’s.
Noel (17) Thoughtful, introspective, caring teenager, but hardly a
“goody-goody.” Comes from a wealthy family. Capable of deep feelings for the
young Mary.
Liz Kruger (25-35) In excellent shape, exercises regularly, possibly a
runner. Very attractive. Has a strong, positive attitude. Comes from money.
Zelda (45-55) A childhood classmate of Mary’s. She’s loud, and a bit
coarse.
Tammy (goes from 12 to 17 in the play) Mary’s daughter. She’s shy and
quiet at first, but as she gets older, she becomes more independent and
demanding.
Dr. John Oleander (late 30s-45) Much more serious and dignified than
Danny, and somewhat humorless. He comes from old money, but he’s a hard worker
and a dedicated psychiatrist.
