Alumni-starring 'A Crucible' Opens at Fringe

The cast of 'A Crucible: A Puritanical Celebration of Witches and Turkeys'

The Humanist Project is excited to announce A Crucible: A Puritanical Celebration of Witches and Turkeys, a delightful new comedy. Debuting at the New York City Fringe (formally Frigid Fringe Festival) on April 2nd, this original piece blends Thanksgiving, Puritanical traditions, and witch hunts into a hilarious, yet thought-provoking, take on The Crucible.

The play-within-a-play celebrates women, food, villainous men, and the uniquely American tradition of passionately participating in a good argument. With absurdity and wit, A Crucible highlights themes of ignorance, deception, and modern-day witch hunts—making it more relevant now than ever before.

The following alumni contributed to the producing and devising stages, and act in the production: Mia Alexandra ('23), Peter Julien Lane ('23), Jon-Mykul Bowen ('23), Fernando Zermeño ('23).
