John Proctor Is the Villain is now in previews at the Booth Theatre, ahead of a Monday, April 14 opening night. Meet the cast of John Proctor Is the Villain below!

Sadie Sink leads the production, and she will be joined by Nihar Duvvuri as ‘Mason Adams,’ Tony Award winner Gabriel Ebert as ‘Carter Smith,’ Molly Griggs as ‘Bailey Gallagher,’ Maggie Kuntz as ‘Ivy Watkins,’ Hagan Oliveras as ‘Lee Turner,’ Morgan Scott as ‘Nell Shaw,’ Fina Strazza as ‘Beth Powell,’ and Amalia Yoo as ‘Raelynn Nix.’ Rounding out the cast as understudies will be Noah PachtFiona RobbersonShian TomlinsonGarrett Young, and Victoria Vourkoutiotis.

At a high school in a rural town in Georgia, an English class is studying The Crucible, but the students are more preoccupied with navigating young love, sex ed, and a few school scandals. As they delve into the American classic, the students begin to question the play’s perspective and the validity of naming John Proctor the show’s hero. With deep wells of passion and biting humor, John Proctor Is the Villain is a new comedy from a major new American voice, capturing a generation in mid-transformation, running on pop music, optimism, and fury, and discovering that their future is not bound by the past.

The creative team for John Proctor Is the Villain includes scenography by AMP featuring Teresa Williams; costume design by Sarah Laux; lighting design by Natasha Katz; sound design by Palmer Hefferan; projection design by Hannah Wasileski; hair, wig & make-up design by J. Jared Janas; movement direction by Tilly Evans-Krueger; intimacy coordination by Ann James; voice and dialect coaching by Gigi Buffington; dramaturgy by Lauren Halvorsen; production stage management by Kamra A. Jacobs; and casting by Taylor Williams.
