MoCo Arts High School Play - "The Crucible"

This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in Olde Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. The story focuses upon 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. "The Crucible" is being performed by MoCo Arts students in grades 9-12. TIckets are $14, available now at MoCo Arts or by calling (603) 357-2100.
