STARKVILLE, Miss.—Theatre MSU will conclude its 2016-17 season Thursday-Saturday [April 20-22] with 7:30 p.m. performances of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” on the university’s McComas Hall main stage.

General admission tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the door prior to each performance or in advance at www.comm.msstate.edu/theatre/tickets. Group rates are available upon request.

Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, “The Crucible” is a timeless parable of morality, where the accusations of witchcraft by the young girls of Salem spin out of control and quickly become a game of life or death.

“The Crucible is an American classic that is as relevant today as it was when Miller first penned it,” said director Tim Matheny, an MSU assistant professor of theatre.

“It is a story that needs to be told, and I am proud to join my fellow colleagues and students in bringing it to the MSU stage,” Matheny added.

For more information, contact Cody Stockstill, MSU assistant professor and coordinator of theatre, at 662-325-3320 or cstockstill@comm.msstate.edu.
