All My Sons, the classic drama by  legendary playwright Arthur Miller, comes 
to The College of Wooster's Shoolroy  Theatre (329 E. University St.) Feb. 
24-26 and March 2-4. Tickets are $9 for  general admission and $6 for students 
and senior citizens. Performances begin at  8:15 p.m., with the exception of the 
Feb. 26 matinee, which starts at 3 p.m. 

Directed by Shirley Huston-Findley, assistant professor of theatre at The  
College of Wooster, All My Sons is a story about money over morals. It  centers 
on the life of Joe Keller, a man who, in an attempt to protect his  business, 
knowingly ships defective airplane parts from his factory and later  denies 
any responsibility. That fateful decision leads to the deaths of more  than 20 
pilots and the undoing of his family, which he desperately sought to  protect 
and support. 

"Despite the fact that the story takes place at the end of World War II, it  
is still relevant today," said Huston-Findley. "It calls into question who we  
were as Americans back then, who we were becoming, and who we are now."  
Veteran actors Richard Figge, professor of German emeritus  as Joe Keller, 
and Sara Patton, vice president for development  as Kate Keller, headline a cast 
of 10, including sophomore Alex Gauvin as Chris  Keller and junior Kieran 
Welsh-Phillips as Ann Deever. They are joined by  first-year student Noah Lyons 
as George Deever, junior Patrick Midgley as Dr.  Jim Bayliss, sophomore Rachel 
Feola as Sue Bayliss, first-year student Nicholas  Weiss as Frank Lubey, and 
first-year student Tess Burgler as Lydia Lubey.  Rounding out the cast is 
Thomas FitzGibbon, a sixth grade at St. Mary's, who  plays the role of Bert. In 
addition, senior Merritt Smith will be overseeing the  scenic design as part of 
his Senior Independent Study project.
