Little Theatre readies Arthur Miller classic

The Little Theatre of Fall River will present Arthur Miller's Tony Award-winning drama "The Crucible," as the group continues its 66th mainstage season. The show will be presented at 8 tonight through Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday.
All performances will be in the Margaret L. Jackson Arts Center at Bristol Community College on Elsbree Street in Fall River.
Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for best play, "The Crucible" is an exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem. It is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable for our contemporary society.

"The Crucible" shows, as described by the New York Daily News: "how small lies -- children's lies -- build and build until a whole town is aroused and 19 men and women go to the gallows for being possessed of the Devil. They are good men and women, upright, hardworking, compassionate and God-fearing.
"The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife's arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie -- and here in this trial scene, is the big moment.
"It is a thrilling, bloodcurdling, terrifying scene, as it depicts the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused, imprisoned, and condemned."
The Little Theatre production is directed by James Tavares Jr. Debbie Pelletier is the production's stage manager.
Mr. Tavares has been responsible for many Little Theater hits in past seasons, most recently the group's acclaimed production of "Cabaret." Other recent Little Theatre directorial highlights include "Anything Goes," "The Boys Next Door" and "A Chorus Line."
"The Crucible" cast includes Shandy Monte, Richard R. Pelletier, Elizabeth Texceira-Ward, Holly Costar, Lauren Hopkins, Laura Bomback, William Soares, Megan McCaughey and Jaimie Raposa.
Also in the production are Daniel Davis Tripp, Fran Petisca, Jerry Goldberg, David C. Faria, Linda Monchik, Clement Romano, Rocco Cannistraro, Jason Crowley, Thomas A. Sousa, William "Bing" McGrath, Joe Wallace, Kelly Chouinard, Spiros Mitsis and Allison Klamkin.
Single tickets are $12 for "The Crucible" with discounts available for students, seniors and groups of 20 or more.
