BARRINGTON STAGE ANNOUNCES
FREE EVENTS DURING THE RUN OF
ARTHUR MILLER’S ALL MY SONS, JULY 19 – AUGUST 4

(PITTSFIELD, MA)  Barrington Stage Company, the award-winning theatre in downtown Pittsfield, under the leadership of Artistic Director, Julianne Boyd, and Managing Director, Tristan Wilson, announces two free events during the July 19 through August 4 run of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

How far are you willing to go for the American Dream? Set in post-World War II, Arthur Miller’s landmark drama, All My Sons, examines the relationships between fathers and sons and the price of living the American Dream. An explosive secret threatens to tear the family apart in this powerful play about the conflict between business ethics and taking responsibility for one’s actions.

Directed by Julianne Boyd, All My Sons stars Jeff McCarthy (BSC’s Sweeney Todd, Follies and Mack & Mabel) as Joe Keller, Lizbeth Mackay (BSC’s A View from the Roof) as Kate Keller, Josh Clayton (Chris Keller), Rebecca Brooksher (BSC’s Private Lives) as Ann Deever, Andy Nogasky (Frank Lubey), Pilar Witherspoon (Sue Bayliss), Emily Kunkel (Lydia Lubey), Peter Reardon (Dr. Jim Bayliss), Matthew Carlson (George Deever), and Andrew Gillman (Bert).

The two free events for All My Sons are:

July 24. Post-Show Discussion: All My Sons. Boyd-Quinson Mainstage, 30 Union Street, Pittsfield. Following the Tuesday 7pm performance.

July 29. CONVERSATIONS WITH… Materialism, Socialism and Paternal Conflict in Arthur Miller’s All My Sons with Dr. Susan C. W. Abbotson. Sunday at 3:30pm. Ferrin Gallery, 437 North Street, Pittsfield. Written and set in the 1940s, All My Sons, with its tale of a family torn apart, exhibits many of the discordances that arose within the American family during this traumatic period of war and recovery. Social changes of the era, especially, affected the relationship between father and child, which is tellingly portrayed in Miller’s tale of the Kellers. Free (reservations recommended).

Performances of All My Sons are at BSC’s Boyd-Quinson Mainstage, 30 Union Street, Pittsfield. Performances Tuesday and Wednesday at 7pm, Thursday-Saturday at 8pm, Wednesday and Friday matinees at 2pm (excluding July 20), Sunday at 5pm. Tickets: $15-$60. Seniors: $38 all matinees. Youth 18 and under $15 all performances except Saturday evenings.
