John Proctor is the Villain Playbill - Opening Night
John Proctor is the Villain Playbill - March 2025
Sadie Sink stars in this bitingly funny new play from Kimberly Belflower that flips the script on the American classic and who gets to be the heroes in the stories we tell.
Directed by Tony Award® winner Danya Taymor, JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN is a new comedy from a major new American voice, capturing a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury—and discovering that their future is not bound by the past.
At a high school in a rural town in Georgia, an English class is studying The Crucible, but the students are more preoccupied with navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. As they delve into the American classic, the students begin to question the play’s perspective and the validity of naming John Proctor the show’s hero. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, John Proctor is the Villain is a new comedy from a major new American voice, capturing a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, and discovering that their future is not bound by the past.
