Thursday, January 15, 2026
Rose Drama Club will present three performances of Arthur Miller's "The Crucible": January 16 at 7:30 p.m. and January 17 and 8, both at 1:30 p.m.
Student performers in the Rose-Hulman Drama Club are proud to present "The Crucible" on Friday, January 16 at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, January 17 and Sunday, January 18, both at 1:30 p.m. in Rose-Hulman's Hatfield Hall Theater.
Directed by Drama Club and Production Assistant Trevor Hanson, Arthur Miller's "The Crucible" is a dramatized account of the Salem witch trial of 1692 in Massachusetts. The play focuses on the paranoia and hysteria that gripped the town, fueled by accusations of witchcraft and religious fervor. The story follows John Proctor (Dayne Meyers), a farmer, and his wife, Elizabeth (Dustee Forster), as they are caught in the midst of the trials, with Abigail Williams (Zoe Millen) — a former servant — manipulating the situation.
The cast also includes fellow Rose-Hulman students Keegan Martin as the Rev. John Hale, Basil Grimes as the Rev. Parris, Lucy Martine as Rebecca Nurse, and Akshad Lahariya as Francis Nurse. Eric Sparks will play the role of Gov. Danforth, Ben Neawedde will play Giles Corey, and Randyn Tarnoff and Erin Cass will play Thomas and Anne Putnam, respectively. Additional cast members are Faith Zendzian as Tituba, Wynne Zimmerman as Mary Warren, Anisa Flores as Betty Parris, Vanessa Hood as Emily Cheever, and Lawson Jacks as Judge Hathorne. Completing the cast are Katherine Thesling as Sarah Good, William Hovey as John Williard, Micaiah Walters as Susanna Walcott, Allison Waldon as Mercy Lewis, Hailey Huser as Martha Corey, and Theo Souris as Hopkins. Hailey Huser, Komal Chivukula, and Clover Watson comprise the ensemble.
