Shakespeare '70 to present "All My Sons" at Kelsey Theatre

originally published: 01/20/2024

Janet Quartarone, Raymond Fallon, and Peter Shea Kierst, star as Kate, Chris, and Joe Keller for the performance of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons”

(WEST WINDSOR, NJ) -- Shakespeare ‘70 presents Arthur Miller's powerful tale of morality, guilt, responsibility, and irrevocable loss of innocence during World War II, All My Sons, at the Kelsey Theatre on Mercer County Community College’s (MCCC) West Windsor Campus, January 26 to February 4, 2024.

The Keller family lives in a middle class, God-fearing neighborhood, where residents start and end their lives on the same block; where grape juice and gossip are never more than a few steps away; where power is gained through business and poker games; and where secrets divulged are over freshly baked apple pie. Joe Keller is a successful, self-made man, who has spent his entire life in the single-minded pursuit of wealth for the sake of his family, and who loses sight of his morality – and pays the price.

All My Sons is based on a true story and is considered Arthur Miller’s first significant play. The original production premiered on Broadway in 1947, with revivals in 1987, 2008, and 2019, winning  the Tony Award for Best Revival in 1987 and nominated in 2019. The play was adapted for a 1948 film starring Edward G. Robinson, and again in 1987 for a made-for-television movie starring James Whitmore, Aidan Quinn, and Michael Learned.

The cast features Peter Shea Kierst (Furlong, PA) as Joe Keller; Janet Quartarone (Flemington, NJ) as Kate Keller; Raymond Fallon (Lawrenceville, NJ) as Chris Keller; Kate Augustin (Yardley, PA) as Ann Dever; Jake Burbage (Delran, NJ) as George Dever; J. Ryan Harmer (Robbinsville, NJ) as Jim Bayliss; Hannah Rapaport-Stein (Princeton Junction, NJ) as Sue Bayliss; Jacob Turchi (Old Bridge, NJ) as Frank Lubey; Maggie J. Gronenthal (Lawrenceville) as Lydia Lubey; and Forest Li (Princeton Junction) as Bert.

All My Sons is directed by Frank Falisi of Lawrenceville, with Shannon McGovern (Cranford, NJ) as assistant director. Curt Foxworth (Lawrenceville) is production manager, Kailey Fitzgerald (Lawrenceville) is stage manager. Assistant stage manager is Cara Pergament (Robbinsville), with sound design by Chris Loos (Highland Park, NJ).

Dates and showtimes for “All My Sons” are Friday, January 26 and February 2 at 8:00pm; Saturdays, January 27 and February 3 at 8:00pm; and Sundays, January 28 and February 4 at 2:00pm. Performances will be at the Kelsey Theatre on the MCCC West Windsor Campus, 1200 Old Trenton Road. 

Tickets are $22 for adults and $20 for children and students, and are available for purchase online or by calling the Kelsey Box Office Monday through Thursday, 9:00am - noon, at (609) 570-3333.
