Destructive Nature of Lies and Deceit
Corrupting Influence of Power
Importance of Integrity and Honor
Struggle between Faith vs. Knowledge,
Devastating Effects of a Dogmatic Society

Eerily familiar?

The key themes in Arthur Miller's The Crucible were introduced in 1953 and are, unfortunately, as relevant today as when he wrote those words.

Join us on Sunday for discussion of Miller's works - from the devastating effects of trying to find the American Dream to the mass hysteria from fear, we'll be talking and reading from The Crucible, All My Sons, and Death of a Salesman.

We hope you'll join us, Sunday, Sept 21, 3pm, free.
