John Proctor is the Villain - Pioneer Theatre Company

Join us at John Proctor is the Villain with Pioneer Theatre Company on Saturday, September 19th at 2:00 for the show and dinner to follow.

Fueled by earbuds full of pop anthems, sheer determination, and a simmering sense of justice, five teenage girls are ready to confront the buried truths hiding in their small, single-stoplight town. A recent Broadway hit from playwright Kimberly Belflower, this bold, sharp-witted, and fiercely relevant play reexamines the stories we inherit and asks who gets to define what’s true — delivering a work that’s as entertaining as it is essential.

Side note, this show ties in wonderfully to our Utah Shakespeare Festival trip next year. I highly recommend you see it and join us as the Crucible next summer.

In addition, our sister group, The Banned Book club, will be doing a reading of The Crucible next year in prep for the USF Trip!

Theater Enjoyment Guide:

• Switch OFF your cell phone – Under no circumstances should you ever text, take pictures, or video during a show.
• Savor your snacks quietly (or not at all)! If you have to unwrap cough drops or treats from intermission, please enjoy them QUIETLY to avoid disturbing others. Theaters are designed to amplify sound, so even the smallest noise can be heard far and wide.
• Activate Silent or Theater Mode on your watch to prevent it from lighting up and diverting attention from the performance.
• Keep conversations for intermission or after the show to preserve the ambiance for everyone.
• Positive vibes only within the theater vicinity! It’s lovely to share constructive feedback once outside and away from the theater.
• Dress code follows the unwritten rule of "the more you pay, the fancier you may dress," with Broadway being the delightful exception. Feel free to dress comfortably for your day's plans.
