The Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department to Present JOHN PROCTOR IS THE VILLAIN
The line between witch and heroine blurs in this post-Me Too examination of power, love, and sex education.
The Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department will present the mystery-thriller John Proctor is the Villain, written by Kimberly Belflower and directed by Rachel Solomon. It plays in the Callahan Theater on Thursday, February 24, Friday, February 25, and Saturday, February 26, at 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, February 26 and Sunday, February 27, at 2 p.m.
THE PERFORMANCE
In present day Appalachian Georgia, a high school class explores the seminal American classic, The Crucible. As scandal swirls in their community and old heroes are unmasked, the English assignment becomes uncomfortably relevant for the students. The line between witch and heroine blurs in this post-Me Too examination of power, love, and sex education.
