Boy Needed for "All My Sons" Theatre Play

Manassas, VA, United States
ID: 578238Exp: 1/28/2025
Description:

Looking to cast an 8 years old boy for "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller. Please see the details below. ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCETED. About the project: Joe Keller, a successful businessman, lives comfortably with his wife, Kate, and son, Chris, in a suburban American neighborhood. They have only one sadness in their lives – the loss of their other son, Larry, who went missing in World War II. After three years, Kate still clings to the hope that her son is alive. Chris would like her to give up that hope because he wants to marry Ann, an old neighbor and Larry’s former fiancée. Ann arrives. Kate, sensing the reason for her visit, gets a little touchy. We learn that Ann’s father is in prison for a crime he committed while working in Joe’s factory. Faced with a batch of defective machine parts, he patched them and sent them out, causing the death of 21 pilots during the war. Turns out that Joe was also accused of this crime and convicted, but he was exonerated (set free) during the appeal. Steve went to prison; Joe returned home and made his business bigger and better. Soon after Ann’s arrival, her brother George follows, straight from visiting his father in prison. He knows what Chris has in mind and is totally against him marrying Ann. Joe and Kate do their best to charm George into submission, but finally it’s Ann who sends him away.

A little boy who lives in the neighborhood; he is friends with the Bayliss’ son Tommy and frequently visits the Kellers’ yard to play “jail” with Joe. He appears only twice in the play: the first time, his part seems relatively unimportant, but the second time his character is more important as he sparks a verbal attack from mother when mentioning “jail,” which highlights Joe’s secret.
