THE CRUCIBLE Friday 7:30 pm • Saturday 2:30 & 7:30 pm • Sunday 2:30 pm Outcalt Theatre • Playhouse Square • 1407 Euclid Avenue Written by • directed by Laura Kepley The village of Salem is run wild with tales of witchcraft. Deep-seated jealousies, lust and greed are bubbling to the surface from the heat of each neighbor’s exaggerated accusations. Revenge has replaced reason; mere rumors are now damning evidence — and no one is safe. Astoundingly relevant, Arthur Miller’s controversial American classic dares to put us all on trial. Directed by Artistic Director Laura Kepley. Tickets start at $20
