We’re honored to join this group leading the nation in degree completion and ensuring talent meets opportunity.

Salem Night at the Sophia!

Salem residents are admitted free Friday, October 23 to the theatre department’s production of Becky Nurse of Salem by Sarah Ruhl. Curtain is at 7:30 pm and no advance reservation is required. Present your ID at the box office for free admission!

Ruhl’s dark comedy follows Becky Nurse, a modern-day descendant of Salem Witch Trials victim Rebecca Nurse who works as a tour guide. Confronted by challenges that may seem to define her, Becky's story reveals the real human beings inside the noise of history and how far one woman will go to hold on to what she holds dear.

This production contains mature themes and language.
