The Crucible

Reviews

Producer Erin Pelikhov
Exec Producer Chris Adam King, Director Trudi Olivetti
Asst Director Andrew Hankinson

The Crucible by American playwright Arthur Miller, centers on the Salem witch trials of 1692, during which a group of girls accuse local citizens of witchcraft. Soon others join these accusers. This hysteria is fueled by personal grudges and social inequities and a palpable belief that the devil was real. The play is a powerful exploration of that story and the relationships among the characters. But it also serves as an allegory for “witchhunts” occurring at any time or place.

Thank you to our wonderful patrons for making this production so successful.
