Camwood Players present Arthur Miller’s classic drama “All My Sons” at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through March 13, at Stillaguamish Grange, 6521 Pioneer Highway, Stanwood.
Miller’s searing indictment of greed and corruption opened just after World War II and struck a chord with its theme of war-time profiteering, an issue that still resonates in America, a country at war.
Businessman Joe Keller knowingly sells defective airplane parts during the war. One of his sons is killed on a mission flying one of the planes with the bad parts, an agonizing revelation that threatens to tear the Keller family apart.
A 3 p.m. matinee will be March 7. Tickets are $10.
For more information, call 360-629-4494.
