John Proctor is the Villain

UMBC Theatre presents John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower, directed by Susan Stroupe. In a high school English class, a group of lively teens are studying “The Crucible” while navigating young love, sex education, and the founding of a feminist club. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, the kids uncover more than one school scandal and discover their own power in the process. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy runs on pop music, fury, and the audacity of a new generation coming-of-age.
