National Players 'Crucible,' costume contest set at BC3
The National Players are bringing “The Crucible” to the Succop Theater stage at Butler County Community College on Wednesday.
The 1953 Tony Award-winning play by Arthur Miller chronicles panic and terror in colonial Massachusetts during the Salem witch trials of 1692.
Guests attending the 7 p.m. show can take part in a Halloween night costume contest.
Three members of the Pioneer Players, BC3's theater group, will judge guests' costumes before the performance.
Winners will receive restaurant gift cards during a 15-minute intermission of the two-hour play.
All winners will receive coupons for two tickets to an upcoming show at Succop Theater, according to Larry Stock, director of BC3's Cultural Center.
The National Players, headquartered in Olney, Md., is a 10-member ensemble, and in its 70th season is the nation's longest-running classical touring company.
The troupe has performed in BC3's Succop Theater eight times since 2005.
The company's 2018-19 season includes 100 performances in 60 cities.
Tickets for “The Crucible” are $20 for general admission, $18 for senior citizens age 65 and older, and $10 for students.
