By Arthur Miller
RATED PG-13
On Stage
October 30 - November 16, 2025
In the Puritan colony of Massachusetts, a preacher finds girls dancing in the forest. Rumors of witchcraft spread through the village… and where there’s smoke, there’s wildfire. Soon, accusations abound and the flames of persecution leap ever higher. Conjured or not, curses begin to befall saints and sinners alike. Who is “guilty” and who is “innocent”? A tale of the Salem witch trials, this spellbinding drama is an American classic – and more relevant than ever.
