John Proctor Is the Villain

The Tennessee Performing Arts Center presents a run of Kimberly Belflower’s play, John Proctor Is the Villain. This contemporary drama uses Arthur Miller’s The Crucible as a jumping-off point to explore themes of power, consent, and societal narratives through the eyes of a group of high school students in a rural Georgia town. It’s a thought-provoking piece that challenges conventional interpretations of classic literature and current events. This performance takes place on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at the Andrew Johnson Theater in Nashville, TN. This intimate theater within TPAC is well-suited for a nuanced, character-driven play like this. It's a good fit for anyone interested in modern theater, social commentary, or a fresh take on historical parallels.
