University of the Ozarks Theatre will present six performances of “John Proctor is the Villain,” a 2022 play written by Kimberly Belflower.
The play will be shown April 24-26 and May 1-3 starting at 7 p.m. each evening in the Walton Fine Arts Center’s Black Box Theatre. Tickets are $10 for the general public. There is no cost for admission for U of O faculty, staff and students.
The play’s Broadway debut was earlier this year, directed by Tony award winner Danya Taymor and with “Stranger Things” star Sadie Sink as its lead.
The story takes place in a small high school during the 2018 #MeToo movement, where students reading The Crucible and discussing abuses of power must also navigate accusations of sexual assault and other misdeeds among their friends and family members.
Dr. Macy Jones is the director for the U of O production.
