Synopsis:
Arthur Miller’s classic American play, The Crucible, is a semi-historical, dramatized narrative about the Salem Witch Trials which took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692 and 1693. The play centers around John Proctor, a man wrestling with doubts about his faith in the Christian Church and burdened by guilt over the romantic affair he had with Abigail Williams seven months prior to the play’s inception. When Abigail leads several young girls in Salem to accuse others of witchcraft, the townspeople become divided. Fear, paranoia, and distrust become rampant, and neighbor turns on neighbor. John’s morality is tested when Abigail ultimately accuses his own wife, Elizabeth, of witchcraft, forcing him to make difficult choices between the protection of his reputation and the redemption of his soul.

Seating is assigned. Doors open at 7:15 p.m.

Run Time: 3 Hours with one 10 minute intermission
