Quiz winner collars “Crucible” tickets

Special constable Kevin Thompson of campus Community Police solved a mystery and snagged a pair of theatre tickets in the process, as the winner of Tuesday’s DailyNews trivia quiz.

Thompson’s name was drawn from all those respondents who correctly answered that The Crucible won a Tony for best play, Arthur Miller was nominated for the best adapted screenplay Oscar for his film adaptation and Miller’s death fell on the 56th anniversary of the debut of Death of a Salesman.

He will receive two tickets to see the University Players production, continuing its run through Sunday in Essex Hall Theatre. Performances Wednesday through Saturday are at 8 p.m.; matinees Saturday and Sunday are at 2 p.m. Order tickets online at www.UniversityPlayers.com or by calling 519-253-3000, ext. 2808.
