Brit’s Picks April 2 – 9
Witches!? In Salem?!
Thurs. – Sun.
Studio 914
Take a step into the world of hysteria and hilarity with Luminaire Theatre Works as it presents Witches!? In Salem?!. The play is a satirical response to Arthur Miller’s The Crucible about the Salem Witch Trials in 1692. Trust me when I say nothing is off limits in this script and even Satan has a cameo. The story points out the absurdity of the accusations and persecution of women for witchcraft and encourages us all to look for the truth rather than pointing fingers. Tickets are $30 – $35.
