About the Play
Kimberly Belflower’s funny, bracing play follows five young women in a small-town classroom who, fueled by pop music and teenage fury, begin to unravel the truths about the men in their lives as they study The Crucible. The play premiered on Broadway in 2025 and received seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Play. Note the content advisory: the play deals with mature themes, and closed captioning is available at all performances.
