“Any community theater company willing to take on the emotional expanse of this play should be congratulated and encouraged, and I, for one, do so wholeheartedly…should be required viewing of anyone 16 years or older.”
– Tony Curulla, Syracuse.com

CNY Playhouse’s impressive production of Death of a Salesman will put you through the emotional wringer, just as Arthur Miller had intended when he penned this masterpiece some 65 years ago. I’d gladly return to Shoppingtown Mall to catch another performance.”
– David Abrams, CNY Cafemomus.com
