Inspired by true events, Kingdom City investigates the significant consequences when art, religion, sex, and censorship intersect in a small Midwestern town. When displaced New York director Miriam finds herself in Kingdom City, Missouri, she reluctantly agrees to direct a high school production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible. As the play unlocks and parallels the students’ repressed desires, a local youth minister threatens to cancel the play, creating a firestorm where first loves and First Amendment rights collide in compelling ways.
