I've always wondered...
Is The Crucible by Arthur Miller considered a contemporary or a period piece? Obviously in regard to the time that it was written, it's contemporary, but taking the setting and language into consideration, would it then be considered period?
It's time to start thinking about college auditions (I'm a Junior in High School) and most of them ask for contrasting pieces. I just want to make sure I don't embarrass myself!

"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."
