What It's About
At a high school in a one-stoplight town in Georgia, a group of lively teens navigate young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals while studying Arthur Miller’s The Crucible in English class. As the students delve into the American classic, they begin to question the play’s perspective and the validity of naming its hero. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, this dramatic comedy captures a generation mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism and fury. Alternating between touching, unsettling and bitingly funny moments, these teens discover that their future is not bound by the past and that they have the power to change it all by writing their own coming-of-age story.
With a Broadway cast led by Stranger Things’ Sadie Sink, John Proctor is the Villain was listed by Entertainment Weekly in the top 3 Broadway shows of 2025. It’s the winner of two Outer Critics Circle Awards, including Outstanding New Broadway Play. It was nominated for seven 2025 Tony Awards, including Best Play, and four Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Play. Tampa audiences will get a chance to see this red-hot play before it hits the big screen – a film adaptation produced by Sadie Sink and Tiny Fey was announced in January.
a pulsating portrait of wasted youth that invokes all the standard genre conventions [only] to transcend them through the power of its music and the artistry of its execution, the show is as invigorating and ultimately as moving as anything I've seen on Broadway. – The New York Times.
