"Arthur Miller's classic 1953 play The Crucible is a semi-fictionalized story of the Salem, Massachusetts, witch hunt trials from the 1690s...Actor's Youth Theatre presents a fairly good production of Miller's work, with a cast of talented teens who deliver passionate portrayals....As John Proctor and his wife Elizabeth, Carter Neef and Noelle Parent, respectively, create three-dimensional characters that are emotionally rich and strong in their beliefs. ...With a cast who have as much conviction in their portrayals as the young girls of Salem did with their accusations, Actor's Youth Theatre's production is quite solid and still just as powerful today as I have to believe it was when it first premiered in the 1950s during the McCarthy era."   -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
