The singing Haynes sisters are played by Broadway actresses Kate Loprest as Betty, and Vanessa Sonon as Judy. Complete with magical sets and iconic songs, the show is a Christmas Card come to life.
New Hampshire Theatre Project to Present Miller's THE CRUCIBLE
by BWW News Desk - December 09, 2015
New Hampshire Theatre Project explores New England's own horror story through Arthur Miller's classic allegory The Crucible.  Miller himself says that writing The Crucible was "an act of desperation," his protest against McCarthyism and the persecution of all things "un-American."  Written in 1952 about events that occurred in 1692, the story is as fresh, terrifying - and pertinent - as it was 65 years ago.  Recent books like Stacy Schiff's The Witches help us understand that Miller fictionalized many of the actual historical events, but in doing so he humanizes what seems unfathomable to modern audiences, that neighbors could turn on neighbors and accuse almost 200 men, women, children and local pets of being possessed by evil.
