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.

Presentation by Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court Justice De Muniz will discuss contemporary issues facing the Oregon court system and will take questions following his presentation. De Muniz also chairs the Governor's Commission on Public Safety. In Executive Order No. 12-08, that Commission, which was first created in 2011, is charged with addressing the states unsustainable path of corrections growth that will limit funding available for proven crime-prevention, reformation, and re-entry strategies. Oregon must reverse the presumption of unlimited corrections growth and redesign a sustainable system that provides opportunities to reduce victimization and keep people safe in the long term, as it holds offenders accountable and protects public safety. The Commission will submit its report, including if it chooses, recommended legislation, to the 2013 Legislature. Seating is limited to the first 100 individuals, so plan to arrive early.
