A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR

In this era where the truth, facts and morality are being challenged daily this play offers in its telling the devastating consequences of lies and denial. It also

shows how far a man will go to preserve his legacy and how the very depth one goes to preserve it is what ultimately destroys it. This play is about coming face to face with those lies and in one case one final denial. Most of the characters in this play have been storing up lies for years, The bag of lies is so heavy they

can only drag them day after day, year after year until the bag begins to tear and the lies begin to fall out for everyone to see. The devastating impact of lies and

denial are often never exposed...until it’s too late. It is my hope that in the telling of Arthur Miller’s brilliant play about lies we can more clearly understand the

value of truth with each other and those we love.

-Gary Lee Reed

Wasatch Theatrical Ventures (WTV) was established to produce great American plays, at the highest artistic level, in the intimacy of small theatre; and to do so at affordable ticket prices – so that great American theatre is not reserved for

“elites” willing to spend hundreds of dollars for first-class productions.

In the playhouses WTV chooses, every seat is a “premium” seat. The short space between actors and audience creates a unique theatre experience. This dynamic cannot be produced, at any price, in large halls or amphitheatres.

Fueled by a passion for American theatre, WTV’s selection of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons – one of America’s greatest plays, written by one of America’s greatest

playwrights – exemplifies the Company’s mission.

To borrow a phrase from the “father” of all playwrights: at WTV, “the play’s the thing.” As written and originally produced. No adaptations, editing, or corner-

cutting of these timeless explorations of American life.
