Nashville Repertory Theatre will present its newest production Death of a Salesman, the classic, Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama. Death of a Salesman runs March 12-28, 2015 at Andrew Johnson Theater at Tennessee Performing Arts Center.

In the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller redefined the tragic hero in Willy Loman, the aging, failing salesman who makes his living riding on a smile and a shoeshine. Nashville Rep's production will transport audiences inside Willy's home and into his mind where his reality clashes with his fantasy.
