The Crucible
Steinbach Arts Council Presents a Real Live Entertainment Production
Directed by Alan Fehr
SHORT SYNOPSIS
Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. When a group of girls are discovered breaking the strict rules of their Puritan community, accusations of witchcraft begin to spread. Fear quickly takes hold, and a court established to uncover the truth instead gives suspicion, old grievances and private desires the force of law.
Caught in the growing hysteria are John and Elizabeth Proctor, a farming couple struggling to repair their marriage after John’s affair with Abigail Williams. When Abigail accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft, John sets out to expose the deception and save his wife, even if doing so means revealing his own failures.
But as the accusations multiply and the court refuses to question its own righteousness, John is forced to confront more than the sins that began the trials. With his life, his name and the lives of others hanging in the balance, he must decide what it means to be a good man when every choice carries a cost.

Good to Know
Doors Open: 5:45 PM
Arrival Window: Please plan to arrive between 5:45 PM and 6:15 PM.
Important: Because this is an interactive performance across the grounds, all guests must be checked in and settled by 6:15 PM at the latest so the show can begin promptly at 6:30 PM.
The majority of the performance takes place inside non-heated historical buildings. October evenings in Manitoba can get very cold, so please dress warmly in weather-appropriate layers.
You will also be walking along unpaved outdoor paths, sometimes in low-light conditions. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots are strongly recommended.
The show will go on rain, shine, or cold! Please check the forecast before heading out and dress accordingly.
Due to the historical nature of the grounds, gravel paths, and steps into heritage structures, some areas may present challenges for guests with mobility concerns. Please contact our box office in advance if you require accessibility accommodations.
