Marin Theatre presents The Crucible

Salem is gripped by fear, and once suspicion takes hold, it spreads like wildfire. What begins as whispered accusations quickly escalates into a force that consumes a community, turning neighbor against neighbor and rumor into fact. Belief outruns truth, reason falters and justice bends under the weight of hysteria. Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a searing portrait of mass paranoia and moral courage, exposing the danger of persuasion untethered from evidence, and the devastating cost of holding fast to integrity when the world demands otherwise. This enduring classic is reexamined in the recent Broadway hit John Proctor is the Villain, which makes its West Coast Premiere at American Conservatory Theater in November & December 2026.

Performances on Sunday, February 21st and Sunday, February 28th will have a post-show talkback.
