Opens September 20! Don't miss it! DCPA's Mike Hartman is Willie Loman in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman.

Mike Hartman is Willie Loman. 
"(Mike Hartman) is an underappreciated gem in the American theater. Because of his sense of humor, his generosity and his cleverness as an actor, he can play a wide range of characters so memorably."   
Kent Thompson 

Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer- and Tony-winning drama Death of a Salesman is the story of Willy Loman, a failing salesman who cannot accept that his dreams for his family are no match for realities of their ordinary lives. This heartbreaking portrayal of the American Dream explores families, promises and how slowly both can break.

Tonight my daughter Allie and I watched 11 men and 1 woman tell the story of what came before the story of Peter Pan, the very creative and energetic Peter and the Starcatcher, a play based on the 2006 novel of a similar name by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, adapted for the stage by Rick Elice.

Lively show, creative staging, still it's a dark show, especially the first half, it had pulled me down by
