CUA Presents The Crucible

When a group of teenage girls accuse others in 1692 Salem, Mass., of witchcraft to cover up their own forbidden activities, the town erupts with allegations of satanic activity and hysteria. The arrests and trials that follow expose a community paralyzed by fear, religious extremism, and greed. Renowned American playwright Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible as an allegory for McCarthyism, and won the 1953 Tony Award for best play. It is directed by CUA alumnus Bill Largess, the artistic director of The Washington Stage Guild. Largess is a faculty member at George Washington University, screenwriter, and Helen Hayes-nominated actor and director with more than 30 years in the Washington, D.C., theatre community. Tickets: $15 full price, $8 for senior citizens and CUA alumni/faculty/staff, and $5 for students. Individuals requesting accommodations for disabilities should call 202-319-5367.
