Description

"At a high school in a one-stoplight 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 the students delve into the American classic, they 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, this comedy captures a generation mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, show more discovering that their future is not bound by the past and that they have the power to change it all"-- show less

Wow! This new play cracks open Arthur Miller’s classic drama and pulls out a story—on the same theme—that infuses the work with contemporary relevance. Powerful, with language that dances like the witches themselves. I cannot wait to see this on stage.
