Ruskin Group Theatre will present All My Sons, the multi-award winning classic by Arthur Miller.
A stunning moral conflict resurfaces in the Tony Award winning play, where crimes from the past threaten the future of two seemingly typical families. This gripping American classic reveals the lethal consequences of deceit and greed. As relevant today as the year it was written.
Director Edward Edwards helmed the critically acclaimed production of The Collector earlier this year at Ruskin Group Theatre. Broadway theatre credits include the Mike Nichols production of Streamers and the title role in The Nerd. He has worked on nine feature films and numerous television series. Los Angeles theatre credits include Another Part of the Forest at The Ahmanson, Porgy and Bess at LA Opera and The Hasty Heart for which he won the LA Critics Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Producer Mikey Myers has produced more than 50 projects since 2002. He recently directed the critically acclaimed Faithful at RGT. Other directing credits include The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), That May Well Be True, Mitigating Factors, Picasso at Lapin Agile, LA Café Plays, Sgnarelle-The Imaginary Cuckold, Family Virtue, and Beyond Therapy. Mike is a co-creator of the Ruskin's critically acclaimed CAFÉ PLAYS, a monthly offering of one-acts that are done in 10 ½ hours from conception to staging. In 2008 the City of Santa Monica appointed him to serve on the Arts Commission.
Ruskin Group Theatre has been making an impact on the Los Angeles theatrical scene with an eclectic mix of thought provoking plays and programs. Their 'Fostering Imagination' program sponsors foster kids in theatre & film classes that produce several original shows each year. The CAFÉ PLAYS, created by RGT are produced monthly and are the culmination of writers, actors, and directors who meet at 9am, where they are given a theme. They then write, produce, and perform a show by 7pm the same day. Recently celebrating their 6th anniversary, RGT supporters Ed Asner, Dylan McDermott, Chris Mulkey, Olivia d'Abo, and other industry celebrities joined to produce the Best of Café Plays (both shows sold out within hours). Anthony Hopkins and Anthony Franciosa were some of the Ruskin School of Theatre's first teachers.
