Hannah Landis of Sellersville is part of the cast and crew for Eastern Mennonite University Theater’s production of “The Crucible,” running through Nov. 5.
Arthur Miller’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama “The Crucible” deftly illustrates the parallel of the Salem witch trials in 1693 Massachusetts and the 1950s McCarthy hearings to root out communism during what is referred to as “The Red Scare.” Miller was accused of supporting communism and expected to name others.
Eastern Mennonite University Theater reimagines “The Crucible” as an allegory for today’s society.
“The Crucible” runs in the Studio/Blackbox Theater, University Commons. Performances are 7 p.m. Nov. 3, 4, and 5. 30. Tickets may be purchased on EMU’s box office web page.
