Synopsis
Five young women running on pop music, optimism, and fury are about to shed light on the darkest secrets in their small town.
A story about girlhood, power, and questioning the narratives we’ve been taught. Danya Taymor directs Kimberly Belflower’s bitingly funny, seven-time Tony Award-nominated fresh take on Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.
