2013 Season

The Crucible

May 9 – July 7, 2013

Written by: Arthur Miller

Directed by: Armin Shimerman and Geoffrey Wade

Arthur Miller’s parable draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch trials of 1692 and subsequent generations of American mass hysteria – up to the present. Through this savage tale of one small community’s too effortless descent into superstition and paranoia, Miller explores in frightening detail what can happen when fear clouds fact and blame replaces reason.
