John Proctor is the Villain at Furman University Playhouse

John Proctor is the Villain is a new play by Kimberly Belflower presented in collaboration with The Farm Theater and directed by Maegan McNerney Azar. Our show runs April 9-13 at 8pm and has matinees April 13 & 14 at 3pm. This show is one week only! Single tickets go on sale March 25!

In a present day, one-stoplight town in Georgia, society begins to question the way things have always been. As scandal swirls in their community, a high school class explores Arthur Millers The Crucible, and this English assignment becomes uncomfortably relevant as students reconsider the heroic nature of its seminal character. Girls grow into women as the line between heroine and witch blurs in this examination of sex, power, and education. Presented in partnership with The Farm Theater (NY), Centre College (KY), and Rollins College (FL), Furman Theatres is the third production of Kimberly Belflowers new play as part of The College Collaboration Project. With a mission to help emerging playwrights develop culturally relevant plays, The Farm Theater and students from the three universities have worked with Belflower to look into every angle of the #metoo movement. Join Furman Theatre after each performance as we continue the conversation with a variety of guest speakers on topics from the show. #FUVillain
