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.

"The Appalachia Theatre Project team takes a break."

Professor of Theatre and Cinema, Anthony Guest, led a team of students who presented a workshop to local area high schools exploring social issues unique to the Appalachian area. This collaborative project included each college student (from left to right: Rachel Blankenship, Chelsea Burke, Haley Raines, Rachael Lang, and not pictured Mackenzie Vanover) leading high school students in creating a piece of theatre exploring an identified social issue. Funded by the Dreyfus Foundation, ATP was very successful and hopes to expand next year.
