Cheers for high school drama
Damon Hatten and his wife, Erin Haas-Hatten, have gotten the Little Miami High School drama program off the ground this year and deserve a curtain call for doing so. The arts are typically seen as less important to students and usually the first programs to go when districts face budget cuts. But the couple recognized the advantage to offering students an outlet for their creativity. This week, Little Miami opens its production of “The Crucible,” written in 1953 by Arthur Miller as a response to McCarthyism and blacklisting. The play follows Abigail Williams (played by senior Emily Williams), as she and several other girls tear apart families and destroy the community of Salem by accusing people of ‘dealings with the Devil.’ The curtain goes up at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Little Miami High School auditorium. General admission tickets are $7, and $5 for senior citizens and students.
