 Arthur
Miller Drama Comes to Life |
|
Director Lana Warner is very excited to bring
Arthur Miller's All My Sons to the
Peoria Players stage. This Tony Award winning
drama most recently starred John Lithgow, Katie
Holmes, and Dianne Wiest in the 2008 Broadway
revival. It is the story of a family entangled
in the complexities of personal responsibilities
and patriotic duties. Lana is hard at work
developing the power and intensity in this play;
something audiences will definitely remember.
The production runs on March 12, 13, 18, 19 and
20 at 7:30 pm, and March 14 and 21 at 2:30.
Tickets are just $12 for adults, $9 for patrons
18 and under, and are on sale now. Call our box
office at 688-4473.
