The Lehigh Valley Charter HS for the Arts presented Arthur Miller’s ‘The Crucible’ at three performances Oct. 19, 20 and 21 in the Charter Arts theater. Director Christopher Morris said that the classic play’s “concept of the idea of otherness” influenced its selection. Morris was assisted by Peter Wrenn-Meleck on the set and lighting design, Cheryl Vlasak on costume, hair and make-up design, Mike Lorenz on music composition and David Jerry on sound effects. ‘The Crucible’ was produced by the Charter Arts Theatre Department with a cast of 20 student actors, by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc. from New York.
