Santa Monica High School’s new theater director Darryl Hovis challenges Samohi students to tackle “The Crucible”, Arthur Miller’s classic parable of mass hysteria. The play draws a chilling parallel between the Salem witch-hunt of 1692 – ‘one of the strangest and most awful chapters in human history’, McCarthyism which gripped America in the 1950s, and most recently the backlash against Muslims following the 2001 attacks on New York City’s twin towers. Santa Monica High School actors breathe life into this story of a small Salem community stirred into madness by superstition, paranoia and malice born of the terrifying power of false accusations.

The evening will showcase MHS’s award winning choral ensembles as well as soloists from the middle and high school vocal music programs. A special opening number will feature fourth and fifth grade students from Juan Cabrillo, Pt. Dume, and Webster Elementary Schools singing along with the MHS Choirs.

Tickets for Cabaret may be purchased at lunchtime, from MHS choral students, or from choir director Amy Loch at aloch@smmusd.org.
