Theatre at Vistamar

The Theatre Department is a vibrant part of the Vistamar Community. Our inclusive program has grown each year because we understand that education in the arts provides a creative foundation, tools and techniques to express oneself, collaboration skills, project-based learning, leadership and managerial skills, and an understanding and appreciation of arts in the context of our collective history and the world. Theatre is most powerful when it can not only reflect, but influence, society. That is our goal. Performance opportunities abound for expert and novice alike. We have students who have gone on to be professional artists, artisans, actors, dancers, singers and musicians, as well as students who are exploring these areas for the first time.

Caught up in the trials are John and Elizabeth Proctor, a farming couple whose marriage is hanging by a thread. John Proctor, following an illicit affair with Abigail, finds himself and his wife caught up in the proceedings when Abigail accuses Elizabeth of witchcraft, hoping to take her place at John’s side. Desperate to clear his wife’s name, John attempts to convince the court of her innocence but instead finds himself in deep water when Abigail turns on him. Based on true events, this play is both tragic and deeply affecting as John is arrested for witchcraft himself. When faced with the choice between confessing to witchcraft, thus saving himself, or professing his innocence, and destroying his good name, John finds it is an impossible choice to make…
