Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department presents John Proctor is the Villain, Feb 24-27
Rochester, NY (02/15/2022) — The Nazareth College Theatre and Dance Department presents John Proctor is the Villain, written by Kimberly Belflower and directed by Rachel Solomon. John Proctor is the Villain, a mystery/thriller, will play in the Nazareth College Arts Center 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.
