FINAL WEEKEND

The Crucible

Written by Arthur Miller
Directed by Rosie Gordon

The Crucible is set in a small Puritan town where once-friendly neighbors let rumors get the best of them. Based on the Salem witch trials, this show exposes the chilling effects of mass hysteria once it sets itself on a small, insular community. When the town Preacher’s daughter falls ill and rumors of witchcraft spread like wildfire, who will stand strong, and who will fall to their superstitious suspicions?
FINAL WEEKEND! October 18th – 20th
Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2:00pm

Please note: This show contains mature content, and may not be suitable for younger children. Tickets are also available over the phone and at the door!
