The stage of the Performing Arts Center at Tift County High School will be transformed into 1692 Salem during a performance of the National Players’ production of “The Crucible” on Feb. 7 as a part of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College performing arts series.

ABAC Arts Connection Director Wayne Jones said doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. ABAC Presents! performance.

“With their flexible scenery and cast, the National Players travel far and wide to bring excellent performances to audiences across the nation,” Jones said of the Olney, Md., performing group.

The captivating story of “The Crucible” is set in 1692 Salem. A group of young girls, led by Abigail Williams, make claims to have seen the Devil. After charges of witchcraft, the girls are sent to the gallows.

“This play takes drama to the next level,” Jones said of the story which the National Players will bring to life.  “The audience is sure to be in awe as this truth twisting tale comes to Tifton.”

Tickets can be purchased at the door at a cost of $10 for students and $20 for adults. Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.purplepass.com/crucible.
