The Crucible Western Oregon University's department of theater and dance invites you to experience the gripping American Classic The Crucible, by Arthur Miller, the opening show of its 2012-2013 Season. Written in the early 1950s, Arthur Miller's The Crucible takes place in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. It recounts the events surrounding the Salem Witch Trials. This was a time when paranoia, hysteria, and deceit gripped the Puritan towns of New England. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play. This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. Nightly Performances are Nov. 8th-Nov 10 and Nov. 14-Nov. 17 in Rice Auditorium at 7:30 pm. Matinee at 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 11th.
