Review: The New Jewish Theatre's Production of ALL MY SONS is Explosive, Gripping, and Tragic


The New Jewish Theatre picked up where they left off last season with a superior effort resulting in stellar storytelling. This well-acted production of ALL MY SONS is intense and riveting drama. Jayson Heil, Greg Johnston, and Amy Loui are outstanding as the members of the Keller family. Their simmering performances build to a boil in this pressure cooker filled drama before the lid blows sky high. The tension and intensity they bring to each of their roles is tangible. Director Gary Wayne Barker has collaborated with his actors and technical crew to tell a gripping and tragic story.
