Pikes Peak State College Theatre Department presents John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower, directed by Sarah Sheppard Shaver. The show will run from Nov. 9-12 and Nov. 16-19 at Studio West.

THE STORY: At a rural high school in Georgia, a group of lively teens are studying “The Crucible” while navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, they begin to question who is the hero and what is the truth, discovering their own power in the process. Alternately touching and bitingly funny, this new comedy captures a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, writing their own coming of age story.

Content Warning for adult language and themes, intimate partner intimidation, frank discussions of sex.
