MEET THE CAST: Spencer Theatre Company is proud to present Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” directed by John Sivak, with a limited run of four performances April 3-6 at the Hoogland Center for the Arts. Katharine P. Roberts so greatly appreciates the chance to appear in her first Spencer Theatre Company production, a thoughtful interpretation of an American classic that remains a devastating critique in our present circumstances. After taking time away from the stage to attend law school, Katharine has rediscovered her love for the performing arts in the past year as Lady Capulet in Theatre in the Park's Romeo and Juliet, as Penny in Springfield Theatre Centre's You Can't Take It With You, and through various choral opportunities. She is honored to work with director John Sivak and this whole brilliant cast, and she also thanks her husband and four kids for supporting her and working around her rehearsal schedule.
