About the Show

Rumors swirl across Salem: women are practicing witchcraft. When a group of young girls begin accusing townsfolk of devilish acts, fear and self-righteousness turn to mass hysteria. Arrests are made, and a frenzy of paranoia and violence follows. Compelled by fear and opportunity, neighbor is pitted against neighbor. The accused are forced to defend themselves against a zealous court unwilling to listen. But the towns’ hunger for retribution only grows as arrests and executions amass. Arthur Miller's powerful drama explores themes of integrity, justice, and the dangers of mass hysteria—issues that remain strikingly relevant today in an age of misinformation, public outrage, and the rapid spread of accusations. Content Advisory: Some depictions of violence, supernatural elements, mature themes of betrayal and murder, and disturbing imagery may not be suitable for younger audiences. This production uses fog, haze, and flashing light effects.
