In a world where fear fuels division and truth is often under siege, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is more relevant than ever. Set during the Salem witch trials, this gripping drama explores how hysteria, suspicion, and the hunger for power can destroy lives—and how courage can challenge the tide.

With striking parallels to today’s social and political struggles, The Crucible will leave you questioning the cost of integrity and the power of standing up for what’s right. Don’t miss this electrifying story—secure your tickets now!
