For anyone who appreciates riveting theater robustly staged, All My Sons should be on your must-see list. Here’s something else to consider as to why we owe homage to this timeless work: As he embarked on writing All My Sons, young Arthur Miller still hadn’t tasted the success he sought in his career. He considered it his last-ditch effort to make a name for himself or he’d give up playwriting. The moral of the story is that were it not for the success in 1947 of the award-winning All My Sons, we might never have had, two years later, Death of a Salesman. Shudder the thought. 

Penfold Theatre's production of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is both fresh and timeless! It's a show full of chaos, humor, and unexpected moments of heart. #BWW #ATXTheatre
