San Diego Globe Announces Cast and Creative Team for THE PRICE; Soprano's Chianese to Star

Old Globe Executive Producer Lou Spisto is pleased to announce the cast of The Price by Arthur Miller, directed by Richard Seer (Al My Sons), to run in the Globe's Arena Stage at the San Diego Museum of Art's James S. Copley Auditorium May 9 - June 14 (press opening: Thursday, May 14 at 8pm). Tickets are available by calling (619) 23-GLOBE, online at www.TheOldGlobe.org, or by visiting the Globe Box Office at 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

The Old Globe's "Classics Up Close" series, on our second-stage, continues with this deeply moving drama by Pulitzer Prize-winner© Arthur Miller (All My Sons, Death Of A Salesman). The Price tells the story of two brothers who reunite, after sixteen years, to sell off the remains of their family's possessions. Along with the old furniture are memories of choices the two brothers made when their father's fortunes crumbled. One gave up his education and became a policeman to support his ailing father, the other left his family and went on to become a successful doctor. As they try to arrive at a price with an eccentric antiques dealer, they are forced to settle up in more ways than one as each man reexamines his life and uncovers family secrets.

Spisto commented, "The Globe had originally cast The Price with two generations of American actors. Celebrated actor Robert Prosky had planned to work alongside his two sons before his untimely death in December. His sons John and Andy have decided to continue with the project and they, and The Globe, are pleased that veteran actor Dominic Chianese is joining this production. Dominic will bring an ideal presence to this wonderful role written by Arthur Miller."

The complete cast of The Price includes Emmy nominated actor Dominic Chianese, (Uncle Junior on the acclaimed HBO series, The Sopranos) as "Gregory Soloman", Andy Prosky as "Victor Franz", Leisa Mather as "Esther Franz" and John Prosky as "Walter Franz."
