Step into Salem, 1692, where fear spreads faster than fire and no one is safe from suspicion. Arthur Miller’s classic drama crackles with tension, passion, and moral courage — a powerful reminder of what happens when truth is tested and fear takes hold.
Directed by Greg Parente, this PPAS and Rosie’s Theater Kids production is a thrilling new take on “The Crucible,” bringing intensity, heart, and unforgettable performances to the stage.
This production is currently SOLD OUT!

Your support helps all of our students reach for the stars!
| We’re grateful to all who have already donated to our PPAS Stars Annual Fund— an investment in the dreams and discoveries that will shape our students’ futures. We’ve already raised more than half our annual goal! With your support, our classrooms transform into vibrant studios, rehearsal halls, and creative workshops where imagination takes center stage. Public education funds provide the basics, but it’s our collective generosity that fills our annual funding gap and powers the arts for every PPAS student. We’re inviting each family to contribute at whatever level is right for you, so that together we can realize the magic that our community can create! Every donation is tax deductible, and whether you’re making a one-time contribution or setting up a monthly gift, the process is quick and easy. Please give here today! No gift is too big or too small and your generosity is always greatly appreciated! |
