The Crucible
by Arthur Miller
Director: Matthew M. Moore
Performance Times:
January 26–28, February 3–5
What price are you willing to pay to defend the truth? Arthur Miller’s The Crucible explores this important question against the backdrop of the Salem Witch Trials of the late 1600s. Based loosely on historical fact, The Crucible chronicles the destruction of a community when power is abused and truth is twisted. And while the play’s setting dates back more than 300 years, its themes speak convincingly to our 21st century lives. Experience this searing drama — Miller’s unforgettable exploration of power, integrity, and the high cost of truth.

The Star Spangled Girl
by Neil Simon
Director: Mischelle McIntosh
Performance Times:
March 29–31, April 13–15
In this uproarious comedy, we are introduced to Andy and Norman, producers of a protest magazine. Sophie, an Olympic swimmer and all-American girl who just moved into the apartment next door, pays the young men a good-neighbor visit. From that moment on, Norman is hopelessly smitten. His love for Sophie becomes an obsession, and he literally drives her crazy by ignoring her rejection and constantly interfering in her life. Meanwhile, Andy is preoccupied with fending off creditors and charming the landlady to avoid being evicted for not paying the rent. The situation is eventually resolved through a series of hilarious happenings set forth with the masterly skill and inventiveness that are the hallmarks of Neil Simon.
