Arthur Miller's THE PRICE to Open Off-Broadway at Theatre at St. Clements

The Village Theater Group will present the first Off-Broadway production of Arthur Miller’s classic, The Price. Tony-nominated for “Best Play” in 1968, this Miller masterpiece is the inaugural production of the theater company, which comprises a collective of young artists committed to advancing new and classic works to savvy and inquisitive generations of theater-goers. Forty performances of The Price will be staged Off-Broadway at the Theatre at St. Clements from February 21-March 30, 2025.

Set in an attic of a condemned Manhattan building at the end of the 1950s, this compelling play examines the price we pay for the choices we make or fail to make in life. Four unforgettable characters struggle to make sense of the past and create a future in this 1968 tour de force masterpiece of Miller's pen.

“This 1968 Tony-nominated ‘Best Play’ was first presented on Broadway during the turbulence of great social upheaval, including the assassinations of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the Viet Nam War. These events echoed many experiences from Miller's own life, especially the devastation of The Great Depression and its disfiguring effect on people's lives,” said director Noelle McGrath. “A survivor of the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee during the McCarthy era, Miller was keenly aware of the price of being an individual in a world that encourages compliance and obedience to the status quo. It is within the context of today’s social-political turmoil and that we stage Miller’s work.”

This production of The Price is being presented by arrangement with Dramatists Play Service and the Arthur Miller estate, with proceeds benefiting the Theatre at St. Clements Charities and The Village Theater Group.

"The Village Theater Group is a new collective determined to revolutionize the performing arts by igniting the passion and spirit of theater professionals and audiences,” said co-founder Daniel J. Condon. “We aim to prioritize artistic integrity over profit by offering the most affordable tickets, trusting that by producing quality productions and focusing on our art, success will naturally follow."
