Arthur Miller’s THE PRICE Begins This Weekend at Two River Theater

Two River Theater production of The Price by Arthur Miller, directed by Brandon J. Dirden starts this weekend and will run in the Joan and Robert Rechnitz Theater, June 7 - 29, 2025.
 
“Arthur Miller.  Brandon Dirden.  A pairing of titans,” says Artistic Director Justin Waldman. “This is the type of artistic matchmaking that thrills me to no end. One of the greatest American dramatists to ever put pen to paper meets an exquisite theatrical maker and thinker at the height of his powers. To have Two River favorite Dirden wrestle with Miller’s volcanic sibling rivalry is the stuff of dreams.”

The cast includes: Kevin Isola (Two River’s The Scarlet Letter, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum) as Victor Franz, Karl Kenzler (You Can't Take it With You, Mary Poppins) as Walter Franz, Andrea Syglowski (Pass Over, Brooklyn Laundry) as Esther Franz, Peter Van Wagner (Grand Horizons, A Thousand Clowns) as Gregory Solomon.

The creative team includes: Scenic Designer Neil Prince, Costume Designer Karen Perry, Lighting Designer Otto Driscoll, Sound Designer Germán Martínez, Wig, Hair and Makeup Designer Cici Campbell, Composer Jason Yeager, Casting by Caparelliotis Casting/Joe Gery, Stage Manager Megan Smith, and Assistant Stage Manager Celina Revollar.

Community Closet

Two River Theater's first Community Closet event lifts up hands-on advocacy, kindness and...community! The event begins with a month-long drive for items desperately needed by our local nonprofit partners for the families they serve: clothing, paper goods, toiletries, school supplies and canned food. On June 29, we will host these families and partners in our lobby, providing them with the opportunity to collect these items for free. We will then provide them with a private lunch, and then host them at our final performance of Arthur Miller's THE PRICE.
