The Crucible
This timeless classic challenges American ideas of power, intolerance, and justice. In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer’s wife of witchcraft.

The Crucible is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable about contemporary society. (No Halloween show)
