The Crucible

An American Classic, reinvented.

April 17 – May 3, 2026

Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a suspense-filled classic that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In the rigid Puritan community of Salem, whispers of witchcraft ignite a wave of fear and suspicion, setting neighbor against neighbor in a deadly game of accusation and hysteria. DTW favorite Tess Phillips stars as Abigail Williams, the cunning and manipulative young woman whose lies and vengeful schemes spark the Salem witch trials. Directed by Artistic Director Lance Phillips, this bold new staging features lyrical movement, striking visuals, and an immersive atmosphere that transforms this timeless story into a theatrical spectacle.
