“Few of us can easily surrender our belief that society must somehow make sense. The thought that the state has lost its mind and is punishing so many innocent people is intolerable.” – Arthur Miller

The Crucible
by Arthur Miller

Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Arthur Miller creates a powerful and timeless depiction of how intolerance and mass hysteria can intersect and tear a community apart. Set in the world of the Salem witch trials, the themes of religious persecution and the need for personal strength resonate to the present. Please join us in celebrating
this creative work of conscience by one of the most honored and produced playwrights of the twentieth century.

THE CRUCIBLE is “emotionally honest….This honesty serves as a touchstone for the mass hysteria which shows up with a kind of hideous regularity in the human experience.”
– Director Fontaine Syer

When [Arthur Miller] passed a couple years ago we lost a voice of conscience in this country... It is fascinating that this play that was written and first performed in the early-fifties—1953—holds such profound resonance for us 50 years later.
– Guest Actor Dan Kremer
