ARTHUR MILLER AT THE ALLEY
Arthur Miller is often regarded as one of the greatest literary minds of the twentieth century, so it is no surprise that the Alley Theatre has produced so much of his work. From Alley Theatre founder Nina Vance’s production of Death of a Salesman in 1954, to Gregory Boyd’s production of The Crucible in 1994, to the Alley’s most recent production of All My Sons in 2015, the Alley Theatre has a rich history of producing Miller’s plays over the last 70 seasons. Our current production of A View from the Bridge marks the sixteenth Arthur Miller production at the theatre and the fourth time the play has been produced on the Alley stage.
As we celebrate Miller’s legacy, we look back at the history of Arthur Miller at the Alley.
