The Crucible

Artwork by John Macia

The Crucible

Written by Arthur Miller
Directed by Stephen M. Deininger

May 31st – June 30th, 2019

Miller’s towering drama depicting the deadly mass hysteria that spurred the Salem Witch Trials struck a raw nerve when it first appeared in 1953, during a similar era of political witch hunting and vengeance. Audiences will find it no less electrifying today as a scorching condemnation of a government bent on using innuendo, scare-mongering and intimidation with devastating consequences.


The Devil has returned to Broadway, with the power to make the strong tremble. It is time to be afraid, very afraid…..The Crucible has a spectacular assortment of moments that make the flesh creep.
