We are proud to announce that this Production is made possible through our generous Sponsor - PACIFIC AIR SYSTEMS (http://pacificairsystems.com/).

DEATH OF A SALESMAN will be directed by Lakewood Playhouse Associate Artistic Director - JAMES VENTURINI. He returns to the Lakewood Playhouse for the first time since directing our hit production of THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940 in 2013!

The Production Features a large cast filled with a number of returning actors from previous shows and some brand new performers to our stage! Featuring: Joseph Grant (Willy Loman), Martin Goldsmith (Charley), Charlie Stevens (Bernard), Dave Hall (Uncle Ben) and Curtis Beech (Stanley). And Introducing: Kathi Aleman (Linda), Tim Samland (Biff), Gabe Hacker (Happy), Jackie-Lyn Villava-Cua (Jenny/2nd Waiter) and Vivian Bettoni (Miss Forsythe).

The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman, who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the "American Dream" kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. A thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre.
