“The Sopranos” veteran Ray Abruzzo enjoys acting for one primary reason: the challenge of it. He’s being tested now in the role of Eddie Carbone in Ruskin Group Theatre’s staging of Arthur Miller’s “A View from the Bridge,” which runs through Sunday, Oct. 8.

The Tony- and Drama Desk-winning play is set in 1950s Brooklyn and explores human nature, examining the fragility of relationships, the complexities of love, and the devastating impact of unresolved conflicts.
