The student matinee for John Proctor is the Villain will be Thursday, March 11, 2026.
Synopsis: At a small-town high school, a group of students begins studying The Crucible. What starts as a classroom discussion soon sparks something bigger. As the girls in the class question the stories they’ve been taught and the heroes they were told to believe in… they start to see their own lives in a new light. Sharp, funny, and fiercely contemporary, this breakout hit explores friendship, power, and the complicated process of finding your voice. Sometimes the stories we inherit aren’t the whole truth. The real lesson begins when we start asking questions.
