The North Raleigh Arts and Creative Theatre (NRACT) will present Arthur Miller's classic drama "The Crucible" for nine performances, Sept. 13-29, with a cast composed entirely of teenagers.
"The Crucible" is a gripping drama about the Salem witch trials of 1692-93 which Miller wrote in 1953 as an allegory for the American government's blacklisting of suspected communists. Director Beth Brody said that "The Crucible" is an ideal play for NRACT's teens because it is required reading in the Wake County high school curriculum."Like any play, it's not meant to be read; it's meant to be heard," said Brody. "We're giving our teens an opportunity to bring those words to life on their own, and to experience and understand the characters on a deeper level."NRACT is a teaching theater, where community members can learn about theater through participation in shows, classes or summer camps. In order to provide immersive learning opportunities for teenagers, the theater includes a show with a teens-only cast in every season.
