John Proctor is the Villain

Proscenium Theatre

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.

Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy runs on pop music, fury, and the audacity of a new generation coming-of-age.
