The Arthur Miller
Festival: Our season includes a tribute
to a giant of American dramatic literature –
Arthur Miller. Two of his most acclaimed plays
anchor the salute – A View from the Bridge
and Death of a Salesman. In addition,
we’ll have Monday evening readings, screenings
and lectures exploring his other work.
The Festival is sponsored by Susan and
Steven Bralove, John and Linda Derrick, Wendy Farrow
Raines, Mark and Merrill Shugoll and Dick and
Katie Snowdon.
Notes from Molly:
In Death of a Salesman and A View
from the Bridge, audiences will see two
towering classics of American theater presented
in true repertory style. Imagine being able
to see Salesman one night and Bridge the next
day with one wonderful company of actors. These
gripping productions and the other events in
our Arthur Miller Festival will provide a fascinating
look at an artist who influenced several generations
of actors, directors and designers.

This Pulitzer Prize-winning masterpiece was
hailed by the New York Times as "one
of the finest dramas in the whole range of the
American theater." Exhibiting Miller’s skill
as a storyteller and social commentator, it
has lost none of its potency or relevance as
it examines our national obsession with wealth
and success.

In the iconic figures of Linda and Willy
Loman, Miller created two of the most remarkable
characters ever seen on a stage. Willy has
made his living riding on a smile and a
shoeshine. While chasing his elusive American
Dream, he has put unrelenting pressure on
his sons to achieve at all costs. Faced
with the end of his career, he’s haunted
by missed opportunities and a troubled past.
As the truth unravels, Linda struggles to
help her increasingly desperate husband.
