This is the 20th year of collaboration for Heartwood Regional Theater Company and Lincoln Academy; this time bringing “The Crucible,” Arthur Miller’s Tony Award winning play (of 1953), to the Poe Theater stage.

Set during the Salem witch trials of the 1690s, “The Crucible” is a timeless parable of morality, a scorching indictment of intolerance, and a central work in the canon of American drama written by Arthur Miller. 

The story focuses on John Proctor, a young farmer trying to save his wife, Elizabeth, from false accusations of witchcraft. Their former servant girl brings an accusation that leads to the condemnation of several community members. This fast moving, deeply serious drama features more than 20 challenging roles for students and a riveting plot line for the audience. 

Tickets are $20 for adults and $5 for students. All six performances begin at 7 p.m. Oct. 26-28 and Nov. 2-4. Purchase tickets/make reservations by calling 207-563-1373 or email, info@heartwoodtheater.org.
