In one of Arthur Miller’s best plays, blind trust and the truth are on a collision course. When Chris Keller returns home from World War Two, he finds himself in the shadow of a brother missing in action and a father with a shocking secret. All My Sons is a poignant examination of the commerce of war as it impacts two families whose past, present and future are intertwined.

"A time will come when they will look back at us astonished that we saw something holy in the competition for the means of existence. But already we are beginning to ask of the great man, not what he has got, but what he has done for the world. Every man has an image of himself which fails in one way or another to correspond with reality. It's the size of the discrepancy between illusion and reality that matters. The closer a man gets to knowing himself, the less likely he is to trip up on his own illusions."

Arthur Miller, in Arthur Miller Grew in Brooklyn

Conrad John Schuck

The Department of Theatre and Cinema and the College of Visual and Performing Arts is delighted to welcome Conrad John Schuck to the Pridemore Stage. Mr. Schuck is no stranger to the stage, having started out 49 years ago in the theatre. He is especially well-known for his performance of Daddy Warbucks in the long-running Broadway musical Annie and has performed on Broadway, Off-Broadway, on London's West End, and in America's regional theatres. This will be the first time Mr. Schuck has performed in the New River Valley as well as the first time playing the challenging role of Joe Keller.  Other theatre credits include Caine Mutiny, Long Day's Journey Into Night and As You Like It. John appeared in Robert Altman's groundbreaking M*A*S*H as "Painless" and in Brewster McCloud, Thieves Like Us and McCabe and Mrs. Miller. He is still recognized on the street for his television performances as Sergeant Enright in McMillan and Wife and the Chief of Detectives on Law & Order: SVU, among others. Trekkies may or may not recognize him from behind the Klingon makeup for his roles in Star Trek films and series.
