CENTRAL NEW YORK PREMIERE
By Kimberly Belflower | Directed by Melissa Crespo | Co-produced with the Syracuse University Department of Drama
A wickedly funny coming of age story.
In a one-stoplight town in rural Georgia, a group of high school girls examine a classic American drama in Mr. Carter’s honors lit class, with lessons sandwiched between state mandated sex-ed lectures and passionate discussions on the merits of pop music. But when the students start to question what they see as a problematic play, shocking revelations begin to surface that will have consequences far beyond the classroom. A twisty, modern revision of a canonical text, John Proctor is the Villain dares us to toss off our collective notion of “hero”... and let it burn.
“Spellbinding. Urgent. This is the perfect play for our moment.”
– Variety
