Crucible Events

Our major events usually come in between our four semesters.
We hold several Open Houses, each year, as well as:

Major fundraisers, like our Anniversary Celebration, The Fire Art Festival, and special benefit productions like The Fire Ballet/Opera and The Fire Odyssey. Check out all our Past Events »

The Crucible is a non-profit organization and the proceeds of every event directly benefit our Youth and Adult Class Program. We couldn't do any of it without your support through donations, membership, and our fabulous volunteers.
