SEEKING

Non-Union actor for the role of Tituba in The Crucible at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT

Tituba: smart, strategic, rooted in a cultural tradition that’s perceived as foreign by Salem’s insular community, the first to be accused of witchcraft due to prejudice; her confession and testimony catalyze the play’s action.
