WHEN WE WORK ON NEW

plays, the process, from play selection through the production itself, centers the playwright. With a classic play like All My Sons, the director’s vision leads the way. Their interpretation creates a reason for us to reexamine a particular text. For me the immediate questions are always: With whom? Why now?

David Mendizábal was the answer to the first question. When you have a working director on the artistic staff at a company like Berkeley Rep, it is a pleasure and a responsibility to make use of their particular gifts and point of view — how best to support their artistic vision, ambition, and growth within the needs of the organization.

After the wildly successful run of Mexodus last season, I asked David what their dream projects were — they immediately said, “All My Sons.” I knew David primarily in the context of new plays, so to hear of their long-time attachment to Arthur Miller’s classic play was… surprising. Crucially, David had a clear vision for how they wanted to approach the play, using color conscious casting to create a contemporary lens through which our audience could interrogate the central questions of the play — who is entitled to the American Dream? At what costs — financial, moral, humanistic? What happens when we experience Miller’s text in its purest form, in the mouths of actors who allow us to see it anew?

As for the why now — it’s a critical moment to examine our relationship to morality, to the conflict between the success of the individual and their responsibility to their community. To examine what defines success, and who truly pays the price. To think about who gets to aspire to an American Dream, and whether such a thing actually exists.

How thrilling to have the opportunity to be in the presence of Arthur Miller’s endlessly relevant words, and to see them interpreted and inhabited by new generations of artists who bring their own dreams and perspectives to the task, allowing us together to wrestle with these evergreen dilemmas in new ways. What better reason to come together in the theatre?

Enjoy!

Warmly,

WELCOME TO ALL MY SONS,

Arthur Miller’s searing indictment of moral compromise and the American Dream. I have seen several productions of this play over the years, and it always hits me hard. There seems to be a moment in many of our lives when one discovers the fallibility of a parent, and this play brings me back to that reckoning every time. Like all masterpieces, All My Sons reveals layers of meaning with each encounter. In this production, David’s casting choices and reexamination of the original text open new dimensions when viewed through the lenses of race, ethnicity, and class. Beyond Berkeley Rep’s leadership in new play development, this fresh interrogation of a classic text sits squarely within our mission: inspiring people to experience the world — and art — in new and surprising ways.

As you experience this story on stage, our team is deep in the work of imagining what comes next. Alongside preparations for the much-anticipated musical adaptation of The Lunchbox, which premieres in May and will surely be a stunning season finale, planning for the 2026/27 season is well underway. We are shaping a lineup that continues our commitment to bold new work and fresh perspectives — stories that entertain, challenge, provoke, and inspire. Current subscribers can now take advantage of our Early Bird renewal offer. Renew for the full season by April 14 to lock in our best prices, saving at least 20% off individual tickets, with waived subscription fees. Early Bird subscriptions also secure your same seats if renewing for the same day and performance time, and place you first in line for any change requests. You will not want to miss next season!

I also invite you to join us for our annual Ovation Gala on Saturday, April 18, at the Ritz-Carlton in San Francisco. This signature event celebrates the artists and community that make Berkeley Rep possible and raises vital support for our artistic, education, and community programs — always an evening of memorable performances, shared purpose, and fantastic friends.

Thank you for being part of Berkeley Rep. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support.

Enjoy the show!

Some Place Called Home:

BERKELEY REP’S 2026 HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE FESTIVAL

BY MARKETING AND REGISTRATIONS MANAGER ASHLEY LIM

The stage is set. The lights are up. The audience is filled. For nearly 100 high school students, Berkeley Rep’s Roda Theatre stage is about to become their new home.

Berkeley Rep’s annual High School Theatre Festival is just one of the many ways we’re investing in future artists and change-makers.

The High School Theatre Festival is a unique opportunity for students to work alongside professional theatre artists to devise new works completely from scratch, and then perform them right here at Berkeley Rep. Each school selected for participation engages in a 10-12 week residency from December through March, where theatre artists visit each school to facilitate the creation of an original play based on themes or issues chosen by students at each campus. This year’s theme? There is Some Place Called Home.

There is Some Place Called Home centers the act of imagining and re-imagining home — beyond

blood, beyond borders, beyond the places that have displaced, exiled, or othered them. This festival celebrates home as a foundation built with others, a shared becoming, and a collective making where ritual, imagination, and performance become acts of resilience, reinvention, and liberation. Beyond school communities, this event also activates core communities within Berkeley Rep’s youth programming, such as Teen Leadership Council — a cohort of local high schoolers interested in theatre and arts education advocacy, who assist in selecting the festival’s theme, as well as coordinating and hosting all events the day of the festival itself.

“The festival is a necessary experience as it gives teens permission, and space, to use their own voices,” explains Aejay Antonis Marquis Mitchell, Berkeley Rep’s Education Programs Associate who coordinates the festival each year. “Students are invited

to create work rooted in what shapes their everyday lives: their dreams, hopes, fears, questions, and contradictions. Many students arrive naming a feeling of being unheard or invisible; the festival counters that by centering their stories as worthy of time, care, and collective witnessing.”

Berkeley Rep’s High School Theatre Festival is always open to the public and welcomes any and all community members interested in supporting young artists. This event is free, so if you are interested in joining us for a day of celebration, discovery, and theatre on Monday, March 9, head to berkeleyrep.org/HSTF to RSVP today!

AN AMERICAN CLASSIC, REVISITED

Prior to the start of rehearsals, Berkeley Rep’s Artistic Director, Johanna Pfaelzer, sat with Associate Artistic Director and director of All My Sons, David Mendizábal, and actors Wanda De Jesús and Jimmy Smits, playing the roles of Kate and Joe Keller, to reflect on

JOHANNA PFAELZER: All My Sons is often talked about as a story of familial duty, moral responsibility, and the ideals of the American Dream. What’s meaningful about exploring those themes through your own identities and family history?

why Arthur Miller’s postwar classic feels urgently alive in this moment.

Below are excerpts from the conversation.

WANDA DE JESÚS: Moral responsibility is timeless. We’re living in a society where we’re all looking at individualism versus community. Every young generation thinks they know more than the older generation, but if you live long enough, the young start whispering things like, “Oh, dad was right.” Younger generations start understanding the nuanced gray shades of life. This is a beautiful story about postwar: about what war does to a society and what it does to neighborhoods and communities who deal with so much loss. There are losses for everyone in this piece. Kate sees her son, Chris, who comes back from war. He’s lost men. He’s a changed man — she sees it. She knows that grief gives you wisdom. When you have somebody die in your arms, which I’ve experienced, it changes you profoundly.

DAVID MENDIZÁBAL: My father was an immigrant from Ecuador and in many ways lived the American Dream: He came here and made something for himself and for his family. So, when I first read the play, and the interrogation of both the American Dream and who it’s really for, I thought about my family. Looking at the play now in 2026, we are witnessing the myth of America. We’re seeing a government decide who gets to have the right to the American Dream. And as Wanda pointed out, the sort of individualism we are

being fed contrasts with what I believe — we are all in it together, and we need each other. That’s the only way we’ll get out of things.

JIMMY SMITS: What’s exciting to me is that everything we’re talking about can exist within the framework of this classic American play, performed as written. We’re not trying to impose anything onto it because of who is sitting in front of you, but all these layered themes resonate in another way — not a different way — than audiences have maybe seen in other incarnations of the play. And that’s the test of a true classic. The idea of the American Dream, or its myth, is something every immigrant group experiences, and that’s what the American tapestry is all about. That’s why these plays resonate in such a special way.

JP: Jimmy and Wanda, how do you navigate creating independent characters on stage together? Each of you have your own artistic processes — how do you balance drawing on the benefits of your intimacy and history while also giving yourselves and each other the freedom to create something new?

JS: All I have to do is look into her eyes and there’s an added layer for any emotion you can possibly conceive of — joy, pain, grief, anger, heartache, despair — because we’ve shared life together. It resonates in a deeper kind of way. And in our own professional lives, we have to go out and do that, create families and familiarity with strangers, but this added depth is special. When I re-read the play, I couldn’t imagine opening myself up and bearing Joe’s soul without having a real partner on stage.

WD: We respect each other’s trajectory, our careers and techniques, our secrets, and our loves. And so, we know how to navigate that as professional actors, because after all, you do that with any actor. But with this play — he goes upstairs to read it, then he comes down and looks at me soulfully. He says, “You’ve got to read this.” And I go, “It’s Arthur Miller. Okay?” He says, “No, we’ve got to do this. There’s something here.” And when I read David’s vision and “Puerto Rican family,” I said, “Okay, that’s it. I’m in!” It brought up my parents’ past generations, my great-grandmother. It brought up everyone for me.

JS: Plus, we’ve been to Berkeley before together to work. So, it’s like coming back to something familiar. And frankly, we’re at a point in our careers where being able to help realize a young person’s view about the world is our mission statement as artists: to turn around, look back, and help open the door.

JP: What does being on stage feed for you?

JS: This body is our instrument. You got to keep that instrument in tune. Both our backgrounds were on stage. I don’t cast aspersions to anybody in terms of what lanes they choose to take in their lives. Certainly, you can use an iPhone now and become very successful, but for me, I need to constantly come back to the stage and tune the instrument. The theatre allows for that.

WD: On a film or TV set, you are unearthing truths, but in the span of a minutes-long scene. Doing a play, you’re living every night in that world, digging into the story and learning how it evolves. It’s a different way of working. Theatre is not for the faint of heart. It’s for people who want to tell the truth. It’s a different kind of discipline and demand on the psyche and the soul.

JP: David, for you as a director, All My Sons comes with multiple generations of interpretation and expectation. As you walk forward into this world, what’s guiding you? What do you feel compelled to interrogate, disrupt, or illuminate for audiences?

DM: My hope for an audience is that they will see the play and go, that’s how the play is supposed to be, right? That it isn’t about trying to place an idea onto it but really, take the time to dig into what Miller was trying to say in 1947; and say, I think that same honest conversation about the American Dream, about moral responsibility, about familial duty, about the difference between individualism and our collective responsibility, unfortunately, remains true and feels even more potent right now. I’m excited to dig into the truth of the play as it has always been and be wildly surprised.

THE DREAM WE BUILD:

Reimagining Arthur Miller’s Classic

BY ELENA SANCHEZ, BERKELEY REP’S PETER F. SLOSS ARTISTIC FELLOW

When talking about the vision for this production of All My Sons, director David Mendizábal stated that while they had reimagined the Keller family as Puerto Rican for this production, they didn’t want the project to be seen as a Latino fantasy. Rather, it’s a lens for how practical it was for a Puerto Rican family to be wrestling with the American Dream in the 1940s. Although Puerto Rico was ceded to the US during the Spanish-American War in 1898 and Puerto Ricans were later granted birthright citizenship by the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917, Puerto Ricans experienced difficulties in their pursuit of upward mobility as a result of racial and class divides. Upon examining the history of Puerto Rican migration to the East Coast and Midwest, we learn the motivations behind Puerto Rican migration closely mirror those of Miller’s canonical characters’ in their desire to fulfill the American Dream and set up future generations for success.

As is widely known, after World War II, the US experienced an economic and industrial boom, largely because of increased war weaponry production. To ease the US postwar domestic labor shortage and alleviate Puerto Rico’s poverty, the federal government employed Operation Bootstrap, an initiative to draw American companies to set up factories in Puerto Rico in exchange for inexpensive labor and tax reduction incentives. This transformed the Puerto Rican economy from agricultural to industrial, driving agricultural laborers to migrate to the mainland as there became more opportunities for Puerto Ricans to work in domestic and manual labor.

Though thousands of Puerto Ricans migrated to New York in the 1940s, many migrated to suburban American communities, such as those surrounding Philadelphia, which still holds the second-largest Puerto Rican population in the US. Moreover, while many Puerto Ricans came to urban US hubs, many also migrated to the Midwest, where Arthur Miller originally set All My Sons. Lorain, Ohio, known as the “International City,” became home to

one of the country’s largest Puerto Rican populations after hundreds of Puerto Rican men were recruited to work in steel mills between 1947 and 1948. The National Tube Company paid the travel costs and housed them in barracks, though many encountered difficulty establishing long-term housing due to discrimination and language barriers. The Mexican community in Lorain, who had been established there since the 1920s, supported Puerto Ricans by renting properties to them. Eventually, Puerto Ricans established neighborhoods along the historic Vine Avenue, fostering community through the creation of Puerto Rican housing assistance organizations.

Thousands of Puerto Ricans also moved to Chicago in the late 1940s. Labor recruiter Castle, Barton, and Associates solicited Puerto Ricans to work in domestic labor and in foundries. Puerto Ricans established themselves in various neighborhoods, especially Humboldt Park, which was the first state-designated Puerto Rican Cultural District in the US. Like in Lorain, Puerto Ricans created cultural organizations and festivals in Chicago, including the first Puerto Rican Day Parade, which took place in 1966.

Today, the Puerto Rican diaspora continues in the US largely because of climate migration and economic opportunities. Following the impact of Hurricanes Maria and Irma in 2017, more than 300,000 Puerto Ricans moved to the US mainland, notably Orlando, Florida and Hartford, Connecticut. Many came for temporary shelter but remained because of better economic opportunities and living conditions. Currently, more Puerto Ricans live on the US mainland than the island itself.

In exploring the intersections of All My Sons with the history of Puerto Rican migration to the US mainland, I found myself seeing that the image of an American-Latino family examining the impacts of their hard-earned material success is not a rarity in 2026. In my own family, my grandma migrated from Vieques, Puerto Rico in the 1950s and worked as a nursing attendant at Los Angeles General Hospital. Her decades-long career led to renting an apartment in San Francisco and allowed her daughter, my mother, the stability to pursue higher education and eventually even afford a house with my father. My family’s narrative – like the Kellers in Mendizábal’s All My Sons – is a manifestation of Puerto Rican migration, not only in working physically demanding jobs but building a sustainable legacy. Even though legacy-building is a core part of the American Dream, it can feel taboo to talk about long-term planning, inheritance, and wealth-building, because despite the fact that generations of Latinos have long been laboring toward that very future, there are still limited examples within the Latino community. However, the pursuit of the American Dream isn’t limited to a single culture — and there is no single path to building a legacy.
