‘The Crucible’ coming to Barrow stage for 2 weekends

From staff reports

The Barrow-Civic Theatre is gearing up for its first mainstage production of the 2022 season.

Director Nicholas Hess and producers Jennifer Fox and Hannah Faraone are bringing to life “The Crucible”, which is the story of the Salem witch trials.

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, March 18, 19, 25, and 26, with 2 p.m. matinee performances Sundays on March 20 and 27.

“The Crucible” is set in a dark time in history where there is confining apparel, challenging proper social etiquette and mass hysteria.

During the Salem witch trials, a farmer’s wife is accused of witchcraft by their servant. In this society, those who do not conform to the norm are considered a threat to the public good.

Cast members include August Babington (John Proctor), Grace Fish (Abigail Williams), Shawn Clerkin (Deputy-Governor Danforth), Jim Nash (Rev. John Hale), Hannah Faraone (Elizabeth Proctor), Ben Bodamer (Rev. Samuel Parris), Aoife Salusky (Mary Warren), Aaron Ritsig (Thomas Putnam) and Angie Higby (Ann Putnam).

The production is PG13.
