Advanced Theatre Project: The Crucible
For young artists ages 16-25
Auditions, May 16 & 17. Project begins June 13 with retreat
Regular schedule starting June 15, is Mon. - Thurs., Noon - 5PM
In this advanced theatre project, young theatre artists work together from the bottom up to produce an intense summer drama. While participation is FREE, participants work together to run the business side of the production as well. They raise money; beg, borrow and plead items for costumes, sets and props; and to market the production so ticket sales can help cover the cost of the show. This summer they will be working on a production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible.
The Crucible:
In a small tight-knit community, personal grievances collide with lust and superstition, fuelling widespread hysteria. Arthur Miller’s timeless parable attacks the evils of mindless persecution and the terrifying power of false accusations.
