Albert Lea Community Theatre on Tuesday announced auditions will be held at 7 p.m. Monday and Tuesday for Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” at the Marion Ross Performing Arts Center, 147 N. Broadway in Albert Lea.

“All My Sons” is a three-act play based on a true story.

During the war, Joe Keller and Steve Deever ran a machine shop that made airplane parts that were defective. The twin shadows of this catastrophe and the fact that the young Keller son was reported missing during the war dominate the action.

Kate Keller, 50

Chris Keller, 32

Ann Deever, 26

George Deever, 31

Dr. Jim Bayliss, 40
