Photo Flash: First Look at THE CRUCIBLE at Main Street Theatre Works

Witches are coming to the Kennedy Mine Amphitheatre in Jackson as Main Street Theatre Works presents Arthur Miller's classic play, The Crucible, directed by Susan McCandless.

Check out a first look at the cast on stage below!

It's Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. The girls of this small, devout town, under the malign spell of their ringleader Abigail Williams, accuse countless decent people of witchcraft. Gradually it becomes clear that Abigail has her own motives for revenge, as fear and injustice rip apart the village. Arthur Miller's explosive account of the famous Salem witch trials caused a sensation when he wrote it in 1953, with its parallels to the Communist scares of the 1950s, and it remains one of his most enduring classics. It has the intensity of a thriller, but is also a cautionary tale of extremism that can lead to dangerous mass hysteria. The Crucible runs August 11th - September 9th.

Tickets available at the gate, Hein & Company in Jackson or on-line at www.mstw.org.
