The Crucible Written by Arthur Miller Directed by Kenneth Noel Mitchell Presented in Rarig Center’s Whiting Proscenium Theatre, West Bank Arts Quarter, 330 21st Ave S, Minneapolis
The senior company of the UMN/Guthrie Theater BFA Actor Training Program showcase their training with a trip back in history this year with Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Taking place during the Salem Witch Trials The Crucible is a dramatization of the occurrences that culminated in the hangings of 19 people accused of witchcraft in 1692. The events portrayed in The Crucible express how the paranoia of having an enemy within has throughout history penetrated American society causing people to question the loyalties of their neighbors, friends, and families. Even today the cautionary tale of John Proctor and the Salem witch-hunt is a reminder of the importance of the personal and religious freedoms that we often take for granted.
