This gripping drama is a timeless tale of fear, greed, and power written by one of the greatest American playwrights. Widely regarded as Arthur Miller’s response to the unseemly “House Un-American Activities Committee” hearings in the 1950s and based on historical people and events, THE CRUCIBLE is a searing portrait of the mass hysteria that led to the tragic witch-hunts and trials in 17th century Salem, Massachusetts.

You don’t have to know a thing about famed Russian playwright Anton Chekhov to enjoy this new comedy by William Missouri Downs. The fun begins when two Hollywood screenwriters are hired by Disney to adapt the classic play THE CHERRY ORCHARD into a new movie for Mel Gibson. Looking for inspiration or just an escape from L.A.’s smog, the pair treks to an isolated arts colony just outside Moscow, Idaho. Little do they know they are about to be thrust squarely into their own hilarious Russian comedy.

The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
