THE CRUCIBLE, written by Arthur Miller. Auditions will take place on Friday, November 2, and Saturday,

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play, THE CRUCIBLE by Arthur Miller is an ageless tale of fear, greed and
power written by one of the greatest American playwrights of all time. When teenage girls are discovered trying
to conjure spirits, the 17th century town of Salem explodes with accusations of witchcraft. The vicious trials that
follow expose a community paralyzed by terror, religious extremism and greed, and a marriage forever changed.
THE CRUCIBLE will be directed by NCTC’s Executive/Artistic Director, Claire Van Cott. Rehearsals will be
November 17 through January 17. Performances will be January 18-20, Friday and Saturday at 7:00pm,

fee. To reserve your tween or teen’s five-minute audition appointment, please call 860.666.NCTC.
