All-Female Cast Announced For THE CRUCIBLE At Hanover Theatre

The Hanover Theatre Repertory has unveiled the dynamic creative team behind its take on Arthur Miller's The Crucible directed by Livy Scanlon. This fully realized production will play at the BrickBox Theater in the Jean McDonough Arts Center September 19 - October 6, 2024.

Building on THT Rep's 2023 experimental staged reading, The Crucible promises an unforgettable experience. Unlike traditional productions, THT Rep's interpretation will be set in a Salem jail amidst the infamous witch trials of the late 1600s, where wrongly incarcerated women choose to act out the story of their society's descent into madness. This American classic transports viewers to a small town consumed by fear and paranoia at the expense of innocent lives.

The sprawling cast includes Alexa Cadete (Twelfth Night, THT Rep) as John Proctor, MarHadoo Effeh* (Twelfth Night, Macbeth THT Rep) as Tituba, Danica Gabriele as Hale, Maggie Hamel (Barnstormers Theatre) as Betty Parris, Lyndsey Hawkes (Julius Caesar, THT Rep) as Ezekiel Cheever, Kathryn Graham Howell* (Clark University Theatre Department) as Rebecca Nurse, Tracy Grammer (The Mill Project, TheatreTruck) as Francis Nurse , Amie Lytle (Julius Caesar, Macbeth, THT Rep) as Reverend Parris, Abigail Milnor-Sweetser* (The Oxford Shakespeare Company) as Ann Putnam, Alyssa Morales (Worcester Youth Speak Honestly Project, THTC) as Mary Warren, Jaclyn Morrison (Worcester State University VPA Department) as Abigail Williams, Dee Nelson*(The Heiress, Broadway) as Danforth, Julie Nelson* (Shakespeare and Company) as Giles Corey, Cassie Tortorici (Twelfth Night, THT Rep) as Putnam, Mitra Sharif as Willard, Erica Shields (Twelfth Night, THT Rep) as Susanna Wallcott, Meri Stypinski* (Twelfth Night, The Glass Menagerie, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, THT Rep) as Elizabeth Proctor, and Prreeti Tiwari* (Macbeth, THT Rep) as Judge Hathorne along with Astrid Bidwell (Youth Acting Company, The Hanover Theatre Conservatory) as Mercy Lewis, Janis Greim Hudson (Twelfth Night, THT Rep) as the Elizabeth Proctor understudy and Matthew Johnson (Twelfth Night, Macbeth, THT Rep) as the prison guard.
