The production will feature scenic design by David Barber, costume design by Kristina Sneshkoff, lighting design by Scott Pinkney, and sound design by Brad Berridge.

In conjunction with The Crucible, Barrington Stage will host Symposia on Arthur Miller Columbus Day Weekend, October 9-10. The weekend will include two free events: Seeing Red: Children of Blacklisted Writers and How The Crucible Came to be the Voice of American Conscience.
