Cry Innocent: the People vs. Bridget Bishop (at the VC)

It’s 1692. Bridget Bishop is accused of witchcraft and YOU are the jury. Hear the evidence, cross-examine the witnesses and determine the outcome. The actors respond as Puritans, revealing much about the Puritan mind. Is Bridget Bishop capable of witchcraft? YOU decide.

This summer (2026), by special arrangement, Cry Innocent can be enjoyed in the air-conditioned auditorium of the Salem Armory Regional Visitor Center Auditorium thanks to our hosts Essex National Heritage Area!
