Cast
Willy Loman – Jim Wurm
An aging salesman. He suffers from depression and anxiety as a result of his dissipating career, his estranged relationship with his oldest son, Biff, and his guilt over an extramarital affair. As the play progresses, Willy loses the ability to distinguish between the present and his memories of the past.
Linda Loman – Meg Knight
Willy’s loyal and loving wife. Linda is supportive and docile when Willy talks unrealistically about hopes for the future, although she seems to have a good knowledge of what is really going on.
Biff Loman – Nathan Kristjanson
The Lomans’ eldest son. Biff has been estranged from Willy for over 15 years, during which time he has not been able to hold a steady job.
Happy Loman – Joshua Billeter
The Lomans’ younger son. Happy is a womanizer driven by his sexuality. He works as an assistant but exaggerates his position and his authority.
Bernard – Malachi Hooper
Charley’s son and a successful lawyer. He provided Biff with answers while they were in high school and attempted to help Biff study so that he would graduate, even though Willy and Biff would criticize him.

Charley – William Miller
A long-time acquaintance of the Lomans and a true friend to Willy, even though Willy is jealous of him.
