The following sequence, choreographed by Matthew Brody ('08), opened WBHS's fall 2007 production of "The Crucible." In the sequence, the young girls of Salem rendezvous with Tituba in the forest at night, and dance around a fire pit.

  • Did you add this in the play, or does this really happen in the play? Because I have just been casted and I don't know much about this.

  • No, this isn't actually in the script. However, the scene was added in the 1996 film version of the show. We decided to copy it because it served to establish a bit more suspense as Act 1 begins. Break a leg in your production!

  • the girl in the background at :52 is not dancing.

  • Yes. There was a labor dispute with the actors during the run of the show. We have improved relations with the union in recent months.

  • Awesome choreography.

    Also, I am digging the stylistic blur at 1:18

  • Yes, the "blur" represents the flawed perspective of Abigail's youth, juxtaposed against, ironically, the flawed but accepted perspectives and beliefs of Puritan society in the early stages of Pre-Colonial America. Of course, it might also just be a camera that's out of focus.

  • Lol Reverend Paris creeping in the back...LOL When we did it there was a pile of clothes that the reverend ran to and inspected...Representing the "Naked girl"

  • Beautiful and simle dance - the choreography seems a bit too dancy for a witches' dance, but it's gorgeous all the same. The girl who stands still at first - it works. I thought she was supposed to be hesitant to join in until I saw the bit about the union. ;)
