Episode Synopsis
Get tickets for the live show HERE
This young woman's experience exists at the heart of the Salem Witch Trials. And while we will likely never know Tituba's true intentions or motivations, we do know that she confessed. In part 2, we will read HER words and see how the magistrates pushed her to tell a perfect tale. Join your favorite Salem tour guides as they discuss Tituba Indian's role in 1692, what we know of her fate, and how she's treated by history in the centuries to follow.
