"Death of a Salesman" by Arthur Miller is an American tragedy about Willy Loman, an aging traveling salesman struggling to reconcile his life with the American Dream. His failing career, strained relationships, and fading grasp on reality lead to a mental and emotional breakdown. The play explores themes of disillusionment, family conflict, and the destructive nature of the American Dream. Our production centers the point of view on Linda Loman, as she plays the willing witness to the downfall of her once safe, nuclear family. Alongside the shortcomings of the Loman’s, we see the rise of a different kind of American family through the ensemble cast of Willy’s life. This production begins our season's long examination of economic injustice, beginning with the point of view from the withered American middle class. This production is directed by Scott Westerman.

Jean isn’t a nerd, and she’s no dud—she’s simply… there. Until she answers a dead man’s ringing cell phone. That single act hurls her into a whirlwind of eccentric relatives, a drunken widow, a black-market underworld, a Johannesburg airport brawl, a laundromat in the afterlife, and maybe—just maybe—into the arms of the dead man’s brother… or the dead man himself. Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone isn’t just a surreal comedy about life, love, and death—it’s a sharp commentary on how technology drives and distorts us. Time bends, realities blur, and we’re swept through parallel worlds, peril, and peculiar romance—all by way of one very insistent ringtone.
