The Lake Michigan College Visual & Performing Arts Department will present a staged reading of Arthur Miller’s classic play “The Crucible” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15 in the LMC Mendel Center Hanson Theatre on the Benton Harbor Campus. The free event is open to the public. Tickets are not required.
This exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. It is directed by Kelsey Trux and features LMC Visual & Performing Arts students.
The staged reading is offered as a special event in conjunction with the fall play production of “John Proctor is the Villain.” Performances for that show are scheduled for 7 p.m. Nov. 10, 11, 17, and 18 and 3 p.m. Nov. 19 in the Hanson Theatre. Tickets for “John Proctor is the Villain” are available at www.TheMendelCenter.com/events.
