ACT Presents The Crucible

Alma College Theatre presents Arthur Miller'sThe Crucible. Directed by Joe Jezewski, associate professor of theatre and dance, and co-directed by Jonathon Musser, a senior from Alma, the play is set in seventeenth-century Salem, Massachussetts, during the witch trials.

Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, The Crucible is an exciting portrayal of a terrible period in American history. The community of Salem begins a series of actions which tests individuals' integrity and provokes community soul-searching. A gripping historical drama, the play is also a timely parable of contemporary society.

Performances are Thursday-Saturday, October 14-16, at 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, October 17, at 3:00 p.m. in the Theatre in the Oscar E. Remick Heritage Center for the Performing Arts, Alma College. Admission is $8 for adults and free for students.

For more information or to reserve tickets contact the Alma College Heritage Center Box Office at (989) 463-7304 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

 

Alma’s innovative PRISM project—Positive Routes Into Science and Mathematics—gets more students excited about science. It engages students in research opportunities not only in their first, second, third and fourth years of college but also in the summer prior to taking their first college course. PRISM is funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation.
