John Proctor is the Villain

THE EXPLOSIVE COMING-OF-AGE STORY COMES TO THE WEST COAST

In a one-stoplight town in Georgia, in a high school AP English class, five young women begin questioning the stories and the heroes they’ve been taught to believe in, against a score of pop music and fury. As their class dissects a canonical work of literature, they’re inspired by the #MeToo movement to look outside the literature to their own lives and relationships, and re-examine who we deem heroic, who we call a villain, and who gets burned in the process.

In a bold artistic collaboration, three of the nation’s leading regional theatres join forces to bring Kimberly Belflower’s explosive coming-of-age story to the West Coast. Centering young voices, this Broadway sensation and new cult classic ignites the kind of conversation that lingers long after the final bell.
