When a high school English class in rural Georgia reads The Crucible, their teacher pushes the students to think more critically about the classic play. As the class starts re-examining the Salem trials, #MeToo allegations erupt at their own school, cracking open their world and assumptions. Is this a witch hunt or a search for truth? Sharp, funny, and startlingly timely, this Tony-nominated drama captures the power and the danger of the next generation.

Jacqui Byrne is an actor, singer and teaching artist from Montreal, Canada, currently based in New York City. She is thrilled to be part of this wonderful production and to be returning to Northern Stage and the Upper Valley! She has a Bachelor of Arts in Theater from Dartmouth College and a Master’s of Fine Arts in Acting from Columbia University. Her recent projects include playing Lenny in Crimes of the Heart, a solo piece called Swimming, Still and Do you Party? by Megan Rivkin at the Vineyard Theater in the Samuel French Off-Off Broadway Festival, where the play was chosen for the Top 30.

New York-based Puerto Rican actress Sidney Diaz is a classically trained performer drawn to emotionally honest, character-driven stories. A graduate of Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts and the Rutgers Conservatory at Shakespeare’s Globe, she has portrayed Hermione in The Winter’s Tale, Olivia in Twelfth Night, Joan in Joan of Arc, and Emilie in The Moors, and appeared in HBO’s Slave Play. Not a Movie. A Play.
Passionate about telling stories that reflect the richness and complexity of Latino communities, Sidney is especially drawn to work that invites audiences to see the world through someone else’s eyes. Outside of acting, her love of travel continually deepens her curiosity about people and cultures, a perspective she brings to every character she portrays.
