(Hamilton, NY – April 2013) The Palace Players are proud to produce Death of a Salesman on The Palace Theater stage in Hamilton Friday, May 3 and Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m.
Death of a Salesman is about one man’s struggle to live the American Dream, and pass this ideology on to his sons, hoping the American Dream will live on forever. It is mostly told from the point of view of the protagonist, Willy, and his previous memories as they are revealed to the audience, sometimes during a present day scene. Willy is tired of the long work hours, lack of respect and recognition by the new, younger breed of his clients, and the realization that he and his sons just might be ordinary. His loss of reality, personal anguish, and love for his sons leads him to commit the ultimate sacrifice.
Rick Signorelli captures the essence of Willy Loman and Linda Laporte-Stoodley is Willy’s devoted wife, Linda. Playing their sons are Nick Preuninger as Biff and Sean McNichol as Happy. The remainder of the supporting cast is Mason McDowell, Chris Bord, Richard K. Stoodley, Liska Savage, Raphael DiLorenzo, and Rachelle Berry. Alessandro Trinca returns to The Palace to direct his fourth production with The Palace Players. Margaret Schuekle is the costume designer. Lights are operated by Kevin Lane and sound is run by Luke Marshall. Many volunteers are helping with the set, costumes, props, and running the front of the house on show nights.
