(MILLVILLE, NJ) -- The Levoy Theatre presents Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman from October 2-4, 2026. This thrilling Pulitzer Prize-winning drama – a work of deep and revealing beauty – remains one of the most profound achievements in the American theatre.

Death of a Salesman 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.

Performances take place Friday, October 2 at 7:00pm; Saturday, October 3 at 2:00pm & 7:00pm; and Sunday, October 4 at 3:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. The theater is located at 126-130 N. High Street in Millville, New Jersey. The production is rated PG 13+ for mild adult themes. Runtime is 2hr 55 minutes plus intermission.

Death of a Salesman is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection.

Death of a Salesman premiered on Broadway at the Morosco Theatre on February 10, 1949. Directed by Elia Kazan, the production featured Lee J. Cobb, Mildred Dunnock, Arthur Kennedy and Cameron Mitchell. The play made its London premiere at the Phoenix Theatre on July 28, 1949.

Scott), 1984 (Dustin Hoffman), 1999 (Brian Dennehy), 2012 (Philip Seymour Hoffman), 2022 (Wendell Pierce) and 2026 (Nathan Lane).
