John Proctor Is the Villain

From fragile to feisty, a group of rural high schoolers navigate bodily autonomy amid personal transformation as they study Arthur Miller's 1953 play, The Crucible. This new comedy confronts the gendered valence of reputational redemption and puts a contemporary twist on the idiom "witch hunt." Fueled by fury as well as friendship, teenagers overcome their fear of speaking out and gain agency over their own stories. This coming-of-age story delves into betrayal, coercion, and the question, "Whose story do you believe?"

This production includes adult language and themes. It may not be appropriate for all audiences.
