Hey everybody :) Haven't updated about my life in what seems like forever, but I've been busy with Crucible stuff. And I'm still busy with Crucible stuff, so I'm just updating to say COME SEE THE CRUCIBLE!

The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Early in the year 1692, in the small Massachusetts village of Salem, a collection of girls fell ill, falling victim to hallucinations and seizures. In extremely religious Puritan New England, frightening or surprising occurrences were often attributed to the devil or his cohorts. The unfathomable sickness spurred fears of witchcraft, and it was not long before the girls, and then many other residents of Salem, began to accuse other villagers of consorting with devils and casting spells. Old grudges and jealousies spilled out into the open, fueling the atmosphere of hysteria. The Massachusetts government and judicial system, heavily influenced by religion, rolled into action. Within a few weeks, dozens of people were in jail on charges of witchcraft. By the time the fever had run its course, in late August 1692, nineteen people (and two dogs) had been convicted and hanged for witchcraft. This is the inspiration for Arthur Miller's The Crucible.



The cast features Louie Sallan, Jared North, Andrea Slisinger, Tom Mahrle, Kirsten Byrd and many others.

You all know the time and the place :) Peace out.
