The Crucible

Sacramento Theatre Company (STC) is proud to kick off the 2018-2019 season of “Love, Loss, and Laughter” by presenting The Crucible.

One of Arthur Miller’s most popular plays and a central work in the canon of American theatre, The Crucible dramatizes the Salem witch trials of late-17th Century Massachusetts. In a community undergoing great change — where some feel as if they are losing control — hatreds are expressed, the vulnerable are scapegoated, hysteria takes hold, and vengeance is taken. Written as an allegory for American mid-20th Century political repression, The Crucible remains as relevant today as when it debuted in 1953.

Note: Join STC for its Prologue Series in the theatre lobby 45 minutes before each regularly scheduled public performance to learn more about the play, the author, and STC’s production in advance of the performance.
