Upcoming Auditions for The Crucible

Open auditions for the O’FallonTheatreWorks’ production of Arthur Miller’s gripping, four-act drama, The Crucible, will begin at noon on Sunday, August 22, in Civic Hall, 305 Civic Park Drive, O’Fallon MO 63366.

The Crucible will be performed on the stage at the O’Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall) on November 5 – 7 and 12 – 14.

The cast calls for 10 men and 10 women, with an age range of 18 to 65+. Auditioners should bring a prepared reading. There will also be cold readings from the script. Crew members and set builders for the production are also needed.

Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, and made into a film in 1996 starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder and Paul Scofield, The Crucible’s plot focuses on a Puritan farmer, John Proctor, and his wife, Elizabeth, caught up in the deadly accusations and hysteria of the Salem, Massachusetts, witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693.
