This event will take place on the PTP stage on Saturday, May 13, 2023 from 10 a.m. to noon.


There is no pressure, no commitment – just a chance to enjoy some great literature in a friendly atmosphere.

About the Show: ​The story revolves around the last days of Willy Loman, a failing salesman, who cannot understand how he failed to win success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived with his wife, his sons, and his business associates, we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. A thrilling work of deep and revealing beauty that remains one of the most profound classic dramas of the American theatre.  
Winner of the 1949 Tony Award® for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
