“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

Cumberland County College Arts & Humanities Division and Department of Theatre is proud to present one of America’s greatest plays – a powerful example of how the theatre reflects and reacts to the society around it. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, The Crucible opens in the Luciano Theatre on Friday, November 21 and continues Saturday, November 22 @ 8 and Sunday, November 23 @ 3pm.

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 by Arthur Miller
Auditions: Monday, September 8 & Tuesday, September 9 at 5:30 PM

This fall, Cumberland County College proudly presents The Crucible by Arthur Miller. Directed and Produced by Broadway veteran and CCC Director of Theatre Programs, Deborah Bradshaw, we bring this exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem to our stage. It is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. "A powerful drama." *NY Times. "Strongly written." *NY Daily News.
The Crucible is the classic story of 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 it is here that 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 with a host of others.

Casting ages 16+. Actors are encouraged to bring a one minute monologue selection, which may be from the play. Sides will also be provided for audition readings. Production dates are November 21, 22, 23. Rehearses M,T & TH evenings beginning September 15.
