Open Auditions - Arthur Miller’s "The Crucible" - Monday, March 13

Franklin Performing Arts Company (FPAC) will hold open auditions for Arthur Miller’s landmark play, The Crucible, on Monday, March 13 at THE BLACK BOX, the company’s home and performance venue located at 15 West Central Street in downtown Franklin. Auditions begin at 7 p.m. for females ages 13+ and males ages 16+. Those auditioning may prepare a monologue, or sides will be available. For more information, including a breakdown of roles, visit www.FPAConline.com.

 FPAC will present The Crucible on April 28 and 29 at 7:30 p.m. and April 30 at 2 p.m. at THE BLACK BOX. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, Arthur Miller’s drama about the Puritan purge of witchcraft in old Salem is both a gripping historical play and a timely parable of our contemporary society. Set in 1962, the story focuses upon a young farmer, his wife, and a young servant-girl who maliciously causes the wife’s arrest for witchcraft. The farmer brings the girl to court to admit the lie, and it is there that the monstrous course of bigotry and deceit is terrifyingly depicted. The farmer, instead of saving his wife, finds himself also accused of witchcraft and ultimately condemned with a host of others. While set against the backdrop of the Salem Witch Trials, Miller’s masterful drama is an allegory of the McCarthy-era witch-hunts of the 1950s. The Crucible is a timeless work with a universal message about the power of false accusations, mass hysteria, fear, and intolerance.

FPAC presents The Crucible as part of the company’s 26th season. For more information, call (508) 528-3370.

"the playground problems are unfortunate"

From the Milford Daily News, articles of interest for Franklin:
"The town will replace the popular DelCarte playground because of continuing problems with the equipment's structural integrity, officials announced this week. 
Town Administrator Jeffrey Nutting raised the matter at Wednesday's Town Council meeting, saying a recent check of the playground equipment revealed new cracks. That discovery, he said, prompted the Recreation Department to call in the contractor that installed the equipment. 
"We asked them to replace the entire playground with something more traditional - something we can use throughout the year," he said. 
The contractor agreed to replace the playground and provide credit toward a future project, he said. Nutting said the contractor could not determine the problem - installations using the same material had worked well in other locations."

the white bundle will be uncovered and removed. The process of replacement will take several weeks

'He Said, She Said' - March 18, 6:30 - 8:00 PM

'He Said, She Said': A night designed for couples who wouldn't mind getting real. 
On your next date night, you could go to the movies but wouldn't it be much more fun to go to a live airing of a reality show instead? 
He Said, She Said
He Said, She Said
Picture this: Two experienced, candid couples with a combined 50 years of marriage ‘practice’ take center stage giving us an inside peek into the good, bad and ugly parts of marriage. We laugh, applaud, relate and dine on some basic refreshments as we slowly learn we are not alone in this crazy marriage train. We can learn something about what it takes, really takes to be the best version of US. 
Hosted by: Mike and Laura Laird and Chris and Cindi Mitchell (pictured)
Moderated by: Heather Kempskie and Marc Pitts
Brought to you by: Pulse and Family Ministries @NEC
