POTSDAM -- SUNY Potsdam's Department of Theatre and Dance will host the Pendragon Theatre production of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman" in the Performing Arts Center Oct. 3-4.

Both shows are at 7:30 p.m. in the Proscenium Theater.

The unraveling of the American dream is at the heart of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," which won the 1949 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award for Best Play. This classic tale of the down-on-his-luck salesman Willy Loman remains one of the most profound dramas in American theatre. Resonant themes of family tensions, deferred dreams and unfulfilled lives make up the landscape of this haunting play. Powerful and disturbing, "Death of a Salesman" is a modern tragedy analyzing our obsession with material wealth and the trappings of success.

Directed by Bonnie Brewer, the Pendragon show features production design by Kent Streed. The cast includes John Nicholson, Kathy Recchia, Brendan Gotham, Dylan Duffy, Jordan Hornstein, Eric Worthington, Steven Hebert, Harrison Ewing, Olivia Zeis, McCayla Quinn, Danielle LaMere and Leslie Dame.

Tickets are $15 for general admission and $10 for faculty, staff and students. To purchase tickets, contact the Community Performance Series Box Office at 267-2277 or www.cpspotsdam.org, or visit the box office, located in the Performing Arts Center lobby.

The Proscenium Theater is wheelchair accessible.
