A contemporary riff on an American classic, John Proctor is the Villain is “a knockout” (Washington Post), “riveting” (MD Theatre Guide), and a “must-see” (DC Metro Theatre Arts). Rumors are swirling at Helen County High, scandal is seeping into the classroom, and Mr. Smith’s English class is tackling The Crucible. When the teens start to question what really happened in Salem, their own small-town scandal comes into sharp focus and looks less like a total witch hunt.
