Welcome to all things The Crucible

This summer, New Salem's Theatre in the Park will produce The Crucible.  This classic American drama by Arthur Miller is a fictional retelling of the events surrounding the Salem, Massachusetts witch trials of 1692.  Written during the Joseph McCarthy communist trials of the 1950s, the play serves as an allegory for those events and for other "witch hunts" of our past and present America.

The Crucible has long been on a short list of directing "dream projects" for me.  I look forward to a shared theatrical experience with actors, designers, and audience.  Stay tuned here for more information as it becomes available, providing context for the play and for our local production.

The Crucible will run June 28-30 and July 4-6, 2013 at 8 p.m. at Theatre in the Park.  Auditions will be held Saturday, April 6.  More information will be posted here soon.
