Wyoming Park Theater Company proudly presents, Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. Come and witness this moving portrayal of one of America’s most classic and profoundly moving plays. By the end of the 1600’s there had been over two hundred thousand people accused and executed worldwide for being “witches” and making allegiances with the devil. The cause of most of these outlandish accusations? The thirst for power, the fear of change, and the lack of acceptance. People of a different ethnic persuasion, people with physical differences, people who were marginalized because of something someone else judged as “wrong” were often the victims of this hysteria. This phenomenon hit America in a dramatic way in 1690’s in Salem, Massachusetts during the infamous Salem Witch Trials when 19 women, one man, and two dogs were hanged for being “witches.” Miller’s classic American play The Crucible, though grounded in history, does not attempt to present a play about history, but instead seeks to present a powerful tragic drama that probes a historical problem that still exists today, a play that explores the unwarranted hysteria and blame that still happens daily in our world. The stirring performance by the Wyoming Park Theater Company will give you new insights about the human experience. To emphasize our commitment against the type of atrocity this play reminds us of, our company has joined millions of others in sponsoring the organization Human Rights Watch.
