Amana - What is the price you’re willing to accept to let go of the regrets and anger that boil within you? That’s one of the questions asked by The Old Creamery Theatre’s production of The Price, a lesser known play by the talented Arthur Miller. A four character piece, the play takes a while to get going, but once it does, it’s a roller coaster ride of brotherly pain. 

Police sergeant Victor (Scott Wakefield) has decided to sell his deceased father’s furniture. A secondhand furniture broker, Solomon (Kevin Burford), offers eleven hundred dollars for these belongings. Victor reaches a tentative agreement with him, but his wife Esther (Marquetta Senters), and brother Walter (Rip Russell), have other ideas about the price Victor should receive.
