Now Playing: The Crucible Repertory - November 7-16
The Performing Arts Department will conjure up the Salem witch trials with two plays inspired by Arthur Miller's The Crucible (1953): John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower on November 7-9 and Abigail / 1702: A Twice-told Tale by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa on November 14-16.
Set in a rural Georgia high school, John Proctor is the Villainfollows a group of students who are navigating young love and school scandals, reading The Crucible in English class, and questioning whether the classic play's protagonist is actually a hero.
Abigail / 1702 picks up ten years after The Crucible's original events, with Abigail Williams seeking redemption and contending with the horrors of her past.
