Winner of 8 Tony Awards, The Crucible is one of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon. This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is a gripping and timely parable of contemporary society, as well as a studied historical tale.

The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie – and the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned along with a host of others.

Our intimate production will invite the audience to sit with us on the stage at the outdoor, atmospheric Forest Theater in this one of a kind production.
