The NSU theatre department is currently performing The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller, under direction of Scott Burrell.
From the period costumes to the unique and somewhat abstract approach to scenery, this production is mesmerizing from Act I until its dramatic conclusion.
The play focuses on a man named John Proctor, his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, and their plight during the uproar of false witchcraft accusations which occurred during the 1600s.

The NSU theatre department is currently performing The Crucible, a play written by Arthur Miller, under direction of Scott Burrell.
From the period costumes to the unique and somewhat abstract approach to scenery, this production is mesmerizing from Act I until its dramatic conclusion.
The play focuses on a man named John Proctor, his wife, Elizabeth Proctor, and their plight during the uproar of false witchcraft accusations which occurred during the 1600s. Just in time for Halloween, the play's eerie effects will envelop you and make you feel as though you are a part of the actions onstage.
"Even today, we are afraid of the unknown," says director Scott Burrell. "Just like in The Crucible."
Ford Hauser, a freshman theater major, says, "The hardest part about putting the show together was the rehearsal process; developing the character."
The cast should be proud of a job well done, because all of the characters are entirely convincing.
Sophomore Monique Ayme, says, "I like the last scene between Proctor and his wife, Elizabeth, because that's when the emotion is really felt. That's the scene that says a lot about human nature."
Each line in this production of The Crucible seems to be delivered with a thorough knowledge of its underlying intention (Hint: read the Dramaturge's Notes in the program).
This bone-chilling play is being performed in the A.A. Fredericks auditorium on the main stage. Admission is free to all students and $10 for nonstudents. Showings began Wednesday and will continue until Saturday at 7:30 pm.
The show is not recommended for ages 12 or younger.
