The landscape of American theater was forever changed in 1949, with the premiere of Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, 9 Drama Desk Awards, and a total of 13 Tony Awards, including Best Play, this masterpiece exposes the secrets, shattered dreams, and unfulfilled promises that lurk behind the white picket fence. Traveling salesman Willy Loman chases a phantom American dream, and struggles with the dashed hopes of his family’s once-promising future. DEATH OF A SALESMAN is a poignant story of love, pride, disappointment, and friendship – attention must be paid.

Palo Alto Players’ production of DEATH OF A SALESMAN will be helmed by acclaimed local director and Gunn High School (GHS) educator Kristen Lo. Mrs. Lo will be integrating the talents of many GHS staff and alumni into this production to create a truly local theatrical experience of this gripping classic.

“The current moment could hardly be more opportune for another wrenching rendezvous with Willy Loman, the American dreamer…” -The New York Times
