Greece Odyssey Presents Arthur Miller’sThe Crucible

As always, the high school students in the town of Greece, NY put on quite a show. In the last few years, I have thought that it is a waste of attend professional theatre when I can see fabulous plays, brilliantly performed, by high school students. Last night’s performance of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible at Greece Odyssey High School was spellbinding. I knew little of the Salem witchcraft trials before seeing this play, but I quickly became absorbed in its intrigue and emotions. After seeing this play, I want to read more about the Salem witchcraft trials.

Leigh Ryan, always scintillating, starred as Abigail Williams (kneeling on the floor in the top picture below), while her nemesis Elizabeth Proctor (center, bottom picture) was played superbly by Carolyn Dunne (who had another big moment in the life of Greece Odyssey a few months ago).
