Film, movement, and storytelling come together for one night, on one stage, for an immersive cultural experience that is intimate, celebratory, and moving. Through live performance and the spoken word, Hernandez shares the personal journey behind “Courage” and his inspirational message of the power of heritage and tradition as it connects us to our pasts and guides us to our futures.

THE ROGUE THEATRE PRESENTS All My Sons by Arthur Miller

 

THE ROGUE THEATRE PRESENTS

All My Sons

by Arthur Miller

Directed by Christopher Johnson  ·  Music Direction by Russell Ronnebaum

October 30 – November 22, 2026

Arthur Miller’s modern tragedy comes to Tucson this fall. When a successful midwestern businessman and his family are drawn into the discovery that he sold defective aircraft engines to the military during the Second World War, the quiet of their backyard begins to crack. The play asks us to consider the dark underbelly of capitalism, and what we owe to a universe of people beyond our own front door.

Winner of the 1947 Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play, All My Sons is the work that launched Miller’s career, ahead of Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. It is a story in which the past arrives, in Miller’s words, as “how the birds came home to roost,” and its questions about war profiteering and social complicity remain strikingly current.
