In his extended dream he suffers the visions of his young cousin and bride, Virginia; his lifelong paramour, Elmyra; his stepmother, Muddy; and the ghost of his own mother. The evening is an intense excursion into madness that somehow remains intensely human.

GVT will present Death of a Salesman on October 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 & 16.
In America today, life isn’t much easier for most people than it was when Arthur Miller wrote Death of a Salesman, so his ode to the human need for dignity still resonates. At its wounded heart this is a play about a family adrift. Willy Loman, a failing salesman, cannot grasp his failure to achieve the “American Dream” of financial success and happiness. Through a series of tragic soul-searching revelations of the life he has lived and of his illusions, we discover how his quest for the “American Dream” kept him blind to the people who truly loved him. This classic American drama is a profound work of deep and revealing beauty that remains an icon of the American theatre.
Theatrical performances are at 113 E. Washington Street at 7:30 PM on Wednesdays and Thursdays; 8:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays; and 3:00 PM matinees on Saturdays and Sundays. Times are subject to change without written notice. Please confirm times when making your reservations. Times for youth productions vary.

The popular outdoor drama, Riders of the Flood, will return to the Ronceverte Island Park Amphitheater on September 16-19. The performance begins at 8pm nightly.
Riders of the Flood was written by Greenbrier County native and acclaimed artist, Robert Tuckwiller. It is based on the book of the same title by the late Warren Blackhurst of Cass, West Virginia. Set during the bygone era when logging camps were plentiful and loggers risked their lives to drive logs down the Greenbrier River, Riders of the Flood tells the tale of one young man who, down on his luck, is forced to leave the big city and start a new life. He sets off to join a logging camp, not only to find work but more importantly to find himself. His journey winds its way through the Greenbrier Valley, over Droop Mountain, into Pocahontas County and on to the high mountain country beyond. Along the way he finds adventure, romance, and success.
Riders of the Flood is presented in a pleasant family-friendly style while you relax on the banks of the beautiful Greenbrier River. Tickets are available by calling 304-647-3140 or 304-647-4500. For more information, please visit the official website at www.ridersoftheflood.com.
