Director’s note My journey with All My Sons is strangely like Dorothy’s in The Wizard of Oz. 20 years ago, I was a member of a spiritual community in which I had placed much hope. I wanted to be a part of this community. And then, one fateful day, I overheard a fellow member, “This place {church} is the only place to find people who know the truth.” Those words were a personal warning. I had worked hard to become a member of what felt like an open society, to be part of a diverse and inclusive community-never to be excluded. I think my biggest personal fear is being left out and abandoned. The horrible truth was that I had found a community that seemed determined to leave people out while promising inclusion. Miller writes about responsibility, love and hope in a fiercely unequal Ameri- ca after what seemed like a unifying war. The play takes us to uncomfortable realizations about our history and future. In my story, Joe Keller is my father, Kate Keller is my mother, both capable of great love, determined to keep the family intact and the dream alive. As my daughter has often said, “Mom, you are the most innocent, naïve person I know.” It is a cautionary compliment. She saw the ironic divide in the church I attended in the late 90’s years before I did. So, I am Chris, full of immense love for my family and intensely passionate about the world that seems much bigger than my family could envision. My upbringing was complicated perhaps much more than Chris’s yet like him, I’m slow to fault my family of origin and searching to understand where I belong. I left the spiritual community not to vilify it but to find myself. Poignantly, I came to realize that most of my childhood and all of my adult life, I’ve been in theater. I took refuge in it because of my unmet childhood needs and I found my deepest connection to theater when I read Arthur Miller’s plays in high school. I believe in theater. It offers the opportunity to feel the pain and hope of our changing world. It is my home. It allows for diversity, inclusion and growth. So, I click my heels and say, “there’s no place like home, there’s no place like home.” by Elina de Santos Actor Biographies Amy-Helene Carlson (Ann Deever) is a graduate of the William Esper Studio in New York City.
