<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">A new look at an American classic that remains as chilling and timely as it was in 1953. Based on events which took place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, this tragedy tells the story of a
village that becomes embroiled in a witch hunt. A group of girls are caught dancing in the forest by the local minister and rumors of witchcraft fill the Puritan town. Deceit, adultery, and fear push the town to the limit and, in the end, the one who tells
the truth in hopes of redemption pays the ultimate price.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">* Please note that the concept for this production will focus on our current society, social media, cancel culture, and how the events of the Salem witch trials are still relevant today.
While we will be costuming and designing this show in present day, there will be NO changes to Arthur Miller's original text.</span></i><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
