Event Details

Cry Innocent: The People Versus Bridget Bishop – A History Alive, Inc. production.

Experience the Salem Witch Trials like never before! It’s 1692, and YOU are on the Puritan jury. Hear testimonies, cross-examine witnesses, and decide: Is Bridget Bishop guilty of witchcraft?

Join us at Salem’s Historic Old Town Hall (32 Derby Square) for a live, immersive performance that brings history to life. As a member of the Puritan jury, you’ll be transported back to 1692 Salem, where witch hysteria grips the town. Listen to historical testimonies, question the witnesses, and play a crucial role in determining Bridget Bishop’s fate.

Our 2024 public season opens in late September, with performances throughout the fall. Regular showtimes are 11:30 AM and 1:30 PM on weekdays, with additional times available on weekends. Special “Kids’ Pub” events are scheduled for select Saturdays.
