Now in its third year, the event welcomes faculty, staff, students, and community partners eager to learn practical preparedness skills.

By Kimberly BelflowerFresh from its Off-Broadway debut, John Proctor Is the Villain is a razor-sharp, timely play that packs a punch of truth, making it the perfect undertaking for a college campus. A 2025 award season darling, with seven Tony Award nominations, including Best Play, Best Actress in a Play, and Best Direction of a Play, it won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Broadway Play, plus recognition from the Dorian Awards and Drama Desk Awards.Playwright Kimberly Belflower's contemporary story pulls at the parallels to reconsider Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Set in rural Georgia, watch it all unfold through the eyes of a high school class confronting the real-life complexities of identity, gender, and power.Helmed by Sarah Gitenstein, assistant professor for Notre Dame's Department of Film, Television, and Theatre, and directing an all-student cast with wit and honesty, they tackle this of-the-moment topic to challenge assumptions, spark dialogue, and give voice to those too often left unheard.
