John Proctor is the Villain

Feb 25 - Mar 28, 2027

At a rural Georgia high school, a group of juniors are just trying to survive sex ed, hallway gossip, and the chaos of growing up. But when their English class begins reading The Crucible, the classroom becomes a battleground for the truth as the students start asking uncomfortable questions about Salem and the men history calls heroes. Fueled by pop music, humor, and a fierce desire to be heard this new play captures a generation in the middle of reckoning with the past and claiming its own voice.
