Ten years after the events of The Crucible, Abigail Williams is living under a new identity in Boston and
haunted by her past. When a mysterious figure appears, she confronts
Salem’s dark history head on and must atone for her role in it. Roberto
Aguirre-Sacasa (The Mystery Plays, Good Boys and True, Glee and Big Love) makes his Powerhouse debut with
this suspenseful tale of a young woman’s quest for forgiveness.

THE POWER OF DUFF
By Stephen Belber

Charles Duff, a news anchor in a mid-market
backwater, has an unexpected spiritual awakening on live TV. His prayers,
and their answers, change his audience, his family, and his own life forever.
Stephen Belber (Tape, Match, Dusk Rings a Bell, Fault Lines) returns to the Powerhouse alongside
Peter DuBois (Sons of the Prophet, Becky Shaw, Jack Goes Boating, All New People).
