Sarah B. Stevens and Peter Crist will reunite on The Dio stage in THE CRUCIBLE as two of American theater's most iconic characters, John and Elizabeth Proctor (in rehearsal in photo number 1)! They were last seen together on our stage as Anthony and Rosemary in the touching romantic comedy, OUTSIDE MULLINGAR (in performance in photo 2, courtesy of Michele Anliker Photography)! Join us to see these fantastic performers in a different onstage relationship, filled with tension, drama and stakes that could be life or death!

Performances take place Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons, September 18 through October 25. There will also be one Thursday evening performance on October 22.

Visit diotheatre.com or call (517) 672-6009 for reservations. All tickets include dinner, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages, plus an unforgettable live performance.

In the Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, a servant girl accuses a farmer's wife of witchcraft. One accusation spirals into many, uncovering a web of bigotry and deceit that changes their lives forever. Widely considered a masterpiece and among the most produced plays since its 1953 debut, The Crucible is both a gripping historical drama and an evergreen parable of contemporary society. You couldn't ask for a better show to keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat as we head into the Fall spooky season!

A peek into the lives (and hearts) of the people who entertain you. I had a professor in New York who told us on the first day of class, “Rejection is the 9 to 5 of acting.” For every 100 auditions, you MIGHT book one contract. Give some love to the casts of folks performing for you, because you’re only seeing their yesses!
