Audition Location: Blank Canvas Theatre 1305 78th Street, Suite 211 (at 78th Street Studios) Cleveland, OH 44102 The Story 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. * 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. Since this production concept will not be the traditional 1692 specific time period, ALL ROLES (other than John Proctor) are open to ANY age, gender, and race. Though, we are looking to cast actors over 18 years of age, we may make an exception for certain roles.
