The Crucible

By Arthur Miller

Lies. Fear. Courage.
Step into Salem, 1692—where rumors ignite and integrity is tested.

Don’t miss Paly Theatre’s powerful production of The Crucible by Arthur Miller, running November 8-16, 2025.

Tickets available October 20.

In Arthur Miller’s award-winning and heart-breaking play The Crucible, the quiet town of Salem erupts into chaos as fear and suspicion spark a deadly witch hunt. Accusations fly, reputations crumble, and truth becomes the first casualty. Set in 1692 but echoing through every generation, this powerful drama explores how hysteria and integrity collide when a community turns on itself.

This performance will run 2.5 hours with a 15-minute intermission.  Due to the content and language of this show, it is recommended for ages 12 and up; please email sthermond@palytheatre.com if you have any questions about appropriateness.
