A play about a small-town class studying The Crucible and questioning John Proctor's heroism.
In a small Georgia town, high school students in an English class are supposed to be focused on The Crucible. Instead, they’re preoccupied with young love, sex ed, and the drama that unfolds within their school. As the class dives into the play, they begin to question its themes, particularly whether John Proctor truly is the hero they've always been taught to believe in.
Directed by Tony Award® winner Danya Taymor, JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN is a fresh comedy by a rising American playwright. It captures a generation grappling with change, powered by pop music, optimism, and passion, while realizing that their future is shaped by their own choices, not the past.
This production is recommended for ages 12+.
