Speech & Debate by Stephen Karam 

In this unconventional dark comedy, three misfit high school students in Salem, Oregon discover that they are linked by a sex scandal that has rocked their town. In an effort to expose the truth, they form a unique debate club that sets out to perform a musical version of The Crucible (featuring a time traveling Abraham Lincoln) as part of their plot to take down their corrupt drama teacher and fend off the menace of encroaching adulthood.
