John Proctor is the Villain

John Proctor is the Villain 

By Kimberly Belflower

Directed by Sara Valentine

November 6-10, 2024

 

At a rural high school in Georgia, a group of lively teens are studying The Crucible while navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, they begin to question who is really the hero and what is the truth, discovering their own power in the process. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, writing their own coming of age story.

Performances:

Wednesday, November 6 – 10am

Thursday, November 7 – 7pm + talkback with Speak About It

Friday, November 8 – 7pm

Saturday, November 9 – 7pm

Sunday, November 10 – 2pm
