“community theater” when describing CNY Playhouse productions……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”
