MENT STAGED VARIETY OF PRODUCTIONS The year ' s first production, given in Novem- ber, was The Crucible by Arthur Miller. It dealt with the seventeenth century witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts. John Proctor, the hero, is falsely accused of witchcraft, and al- though condemned to die, refuses to admit any guilt. The cast included: John Proctor, Peter Ciccone; Elizabeth Proctor, Alice Madson; Abigail Williams, Kitty Hardgrove; Rev. John Hale, Stanley Longman, and Mary Warren, Sandi Hildebrandt. Practice for Three Sisters Tartuffe. presented early in March, was written in 1664 by the Frenchman, Moliere. It is about a seemingly pious man, Tartuffe, who wins a hold on one gentleman ' s mind, and while pretending to be a moral example, at- tempts to gain possession of the man ' s property. It is an attack on hypocrisy in all forms. Among the cast were: Elmire, Anita Gustafson; Dorine, Sandi Hildebrandt; Damis, James Brophy; Cleante, Alan Parker; Mariane, Joyce Determan; Orgon, James Struck; Valere, Peter Ciccone; Tartuffe, Weldon Crabb.
