The City Island Theater Group is looking to fill two roles for their upcoming production of THE CRUCIBLE.
Reverend Samuel Parris (late 30’s - 50’s) – The minister of Salem’s church. He is Paranoid and power hungry. Many people in the town don’t like him and his style of preaching. He is the father of Betty Parris.
Giles Corey (mid 60’s – 70’s) An elderly but feisty farmer in Salem. He is a comic figure in the play. Things turn tragic when his wife is accused of being a witch. He is a moral man who does not back down or give in.
