Watertown High School recently wrapped their fall play with three virtual performances of “The Crucible.
“The Crucible” by Arthur Miller is the dramatic telling of the Salem Witch Trials that took place between 1692-93 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The virtual performance was available over the Nov. 20-22 weekend. All of the rehearsals and performances were held over Zoom, except the two scenes that were filmed outdoors, and all participants followed the proper COVID-19 safety precautions.
“I am very fortunate to have an administration that is supportive of the drama program and its initiatives, particularly during this unique moment in time,” said Kacie Kirkpatrick, WHS drama teacher Kirkpatrick. “[Principal] Joel [Giacobozzi] and I started plotting this idea in the summer. We both felt it was essential to have some type of performance this fall, even if it wasn t our traditional fall play.”
