By Arthur Miller | Directed by Catherine Doherty One of the most acclaimed plays in the American theatrical canon, this exciting drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is a gripping and timely parable of contemporary society, as well as a studied historical tale. The story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie – and the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned along with a host of others. THE CRUCIBLE is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.comFor more information, please visit https://webapps.newpaltz.edu/events/view/195243-1

Guest Lecturer: Melissa Murray, Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law; Faculty Director, Birnbaum Women's Center, New York University School of Law. #1 New York Times Bestselling Author The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader. Topic Title: We the People: What the Constitution Demands of Us Topic Description: The Constitution gave America more than a new model of government—it gave us a new model of citizenship. More than two centuries later, are we living up to the ideals and responsibilities it established? What does the Constitution demand of us—not simply as citizens who enjoy its rights and protections, but as We the People charged with sustaining our democracy? In her timely and thought-provoking presentation, Melissa Murray will examine the enduring obligations at the heart of our constitutional order and ask a fundamental question: What does it mean to be a citizen in a constitutional democracy—and are we meeting the challenge? Please join us for a dessert reception & book signing immediately following the presentation.For more information, please visit https://webapps.newpaltz.edu/events/view/195310-1
