Auditions: The Crucible

Athens Community Theatre (ACT) is excited to announce auditions for Arthur Miller's acclaimed drama, *The Crucible*, directed by J. Brad McKenzie, taking place at The Arts Center. Auditions are open to actors aged 18 and older, and a large cast is needed, including a notable role for a young adult Black actor. Participants should prepare to read from the script and be open to direction. Auditionees must bring their schedules for July 28 to October 11, 2026, as the show runs from October 2 to 11, 2026. Beyond acting, anyone interested in contributing to the production in various capacities is encouraged to attend. *The Crucible* explores the Puritan witch trials in Salem and serves as a powerful commentary on societal issues, focusing on John Proctor, who fights to save his wife from false accusations, only to face dire consequences himself. ACT's Mainstage Series features multigenerational productions, dramatic classics, and celebrated musicals in the Sue E. Trotter Black Box Theater. Ticket prices range from $15 to $25, and patrons are advised to purchase tickets early due to expected sell-outs.
