Schools and Other Groups

Cry Innocent is the longest continuously-running show north of Boston. Featured on the Discovery Channel, the Travel Channel, A&E, Nickelodeon, TLC, NPR, BBC, CNN and MTV. If you are unable to attend a Cry Innocent show at the Old Town Hall in Salem, you can also have a witch trial in your own school! We are happy to travel and perform Cry Innocent for you at your school or venue. This allows your students to interact with the actors, ask questions of the witnesses and participate in the pre-examination trial of Bridget Bishop without leaving the classroom. This curriculum enrichment program enhances the students knowledge of the Salem Witchcraft Trials in a way that is memorable and fun. This time there is no need to deal with buses and permission slips…let us come to you!

There is a minimum cost to conduct a private show. We also can sometimes come to you and perform in your venue, or we can connect your group with a remote filmed/live hosted version where your classroom, corporate or other room becomes the tavern, Ingersoll’s Ordinary! For all versions, if you would be interested in adding on a post-show talk back, we can arrange that as well.

Please contact query@historyalivesalem.com for information about booking a special show. We’d love to have a rough idea of how many people you are expecting to bring and when you’d like to visit. To help us serve you better, please note any special needs or accommodations you may need as well.

We look forward to connecting with you about your group’s experience!
