Robert Prosky to Star in Walnut Street Theatre’s The Price

Tony Award nominee Robert Prosky will co-star with his sons, Andrew and John Prosky, and Leisa Mather in the Walnut Street Theatre’s production of Arthur Miller’s The Price, January 15-March 2. The production will be directed by Michael Carleton; the creative team includes Robert Kramer (sets), Colleen Grady (costumes), and Shelley Hicklin (lighting).

The play tells the story of two estranged brothers who have not spoken who reunite to sell the remains of their parent’s possessions to a wily, wisecracking furniture dealer (Robert Prosky). Along with the old chairs and rugs, however, are memories of choices the two brothers made when their father’s fortunes toppled. Victor (Andy Prosky) gave up his education in order to support his ailing father, becoming a policeman on a modest income. His brother Walter (John Prosky) set out on his own and became a successful and wealthy surgeon. With the furniture dealer and Victor’s wife (Leisa Mather) as witnesses, the brothers are forced to settle up in more ways than one.

Robert Prosky is a two-time Tony nominee for Glengarry Glen Ross and A Walk in the Woods; he has also been seen on Broadway in Democracy, Twelve Angry Men, and A View from the Bridge. His film and television credits include Hill Street Blues, Dead Man Walking, and Mrs. Doubtfire.
