SUMMARY:AUDITIONS: The Crucible

This powerful production will take the stage at the Skowhegan Opera House for two weekends this March (6-8 and 13-15).\n\n~~ In the town of Salem\, Massachusetts in 1692\, rumors of witchcraft caused the town to fall into mass hysteria as the townspeople start to accuse one another.
