MCC's Spring Play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller

Time:

Location:

MCC's Spring drama, "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller will be April 9 & 10 @ 7:30p.m. and April 11 @ 2:00p.m. Join us in a new version of Miller's world-renowned play. This new MCC staging will have contemporary actors in modern dress re-enacting the story in a thrilling and in-your-face presentational stle. It's a story that has political overtones with the Red scare of the 1950s, but also in today's world with modern witch-hunts that surround our public figures. The hysteria of the late 1600s still exists; it just has taken different and maybe even more sinister forms. This new version will be a thrill ride of emotion and intellectual confrontation.
