Len Cariou, Neil Patrick Harris and Laurie Metcalf will star in the Geffen Playhouse's production of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, which will be presented at the theatre's mainstage from April 11th through May 21st.

"All My Sons tells the story of Joe Keller, a successful, middle-aged, self-made man who has done a terrible and tragic thing: rushing to meet an order from the Army, he knowingly sold them defective airplane parts which later caused planes to crash, and 21 men to die. Joe then engineered his own exoneration by framing his business partner for the crime," according to press notesRandall Arney, the California theatre's artistic director, will helm the play.

Cariou won a Tony Award for his performance in the title role of Sweeney Todd, and was also nominated for his performances in A Little Night Music and Applause. Other Broadway appearances include Proof, The Dinner Party, Teddy & Alice and Dance A Little Closer.

Harris has appeared on Broadway in Assassins, Proof and Cabaret, as well as in the world premiere L.A. production of The Paris Letter and the L.A. company of Rent. He first gained fame as the star of TV's "Doogie Howser, M.D." and currently appears in "How I Met Your Mother."

Metcalf, perhaps best known for her role on "Roseanne," is an accomplished theatre actress who currently appears in the play Pot Mom in L.A. Her theatre credits include Balm in Gilead, The Glass Menagerie, Educating Rita and You Can't Take it With You, as well as All My Sons at The National Theatre in London.

David Mamet's Boston Marriage, with Rebecca Pidgeon, Mary Steenburgen and Alicia Silverstone, is currently running at the Geffen through March 12. It will be followed by a limited run of Oscar and the Lady in Pink, with Angela Lansbury, from March 10th through 12th and Sam Shepard's The God of Hell from June 20th through July 30th.
