by Talene Monahon, directed by Kimberly Senior, running in rotating repertory with Becky Nurse of Salem
About: Perhaps you recall the young women who led the “witch hunt” in Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. But did you know that in reality, “temptress” Abigail Williams was just an 11-year-old girl? Her cousin Betty Parris was an imaginative 9-year-old; while Mercy Lewis was an anxiety-ridden child seeking refuge in alcohol, and Mary Warren an epileptic orphan. When Abigail begins working for 60-year-old farmer John Proctor, their lives unravel from playing with poppets and churning butter into something unexpected. The Good John Proctor reexamines the Salem Witch Trials through the eyes of the four young girls at its center.

About: Life’s not so charming for Becky Nurse, a modern descendant of an executed Salem “witch.” She’s been fired from her job, troubled by her granddaughter’s boyfriend, is pining for a married man, and taking pain pills to cope after her daughter’s overdose. To reverse her bad fortune, she consults an eccentric local witch … leading to shocking, funny, and even disturbing results.

About: Ana, a Latina student at Providence College, struggles to find a sense of belonging. After a chance encounter with Doña Rosa on La Broa' (Providence's Broad Street), a world opens to her of the Dominican, Colombian, and other Latin-American people who came to Rhode Island and established communities here, and whose joys and struggles mirror her own.
