Witness the Witch Hunt: Meet the Cast Behind “The Crucible,” Coming to OACT This Fall!

by Haley Culliton, August 2nd 2024

     Join the Ojai Art Center Theater as we step back in time to a small Puritan town in our upcoming production of Arthur Miller’s classic, The Crucible. Set during the Salem witch trials, this drama exposes the overwhelming effects of superstition and mass hysteria. As whispers of witchcraft spread across a once-tight community, neighbor turns against neighbor, and accusation run wild. Based on true events where witch hunts proved deadly, who will resist the rumors, and who will be caught in the chaos?

     Witness this gripping tale that takes you through the consequences of unchecked power. Our talented cast brings to life the complex characters and intense emotions that have made The Crucible a timeless piece of American theater.
