ALPHA OMEGA ARTS

INDIANA---Watching Indiana Theatre Company's production of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, is to eavesdrop on a community infected with intense social paranoia. Miller's award-winning tragedy about the Puritan witch trials was a response to 1950s McCarthyism, but today it can just as easily be seen as a response to religious, corporate, and/or political extremism. While the actors, costumes, and direction effectively tell this tale, it is the lighting and scenic design that will keep audiences talking all season. The "plain style" barn-like set framed with eerily shifting shafts of light is the perfect house of terror. The production overall is a moving lesson about how far we will go not only to create terror, but to use it to firmly establish our own sense of order.
