Kimberly Bellflower's John Proctor Is the Villain dives into the heavy topics of dating violence, pedophilia, and grooming in the post me-too era.

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. 

TRIGGER WARNING: Dating violence, grooming, adult language and adult situations are contained in this play.
