	Vinegar Tom Directed by: George Potter Performances: April 16th & 17th, 2026 at 8:00 p.m. CT and April 18th & 19th, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CT Location: Center for the Arts; University Theater About the Performance: This exciting early play by an acclaimed Obie Award winning author was created in association with a British feminist theatre who requested a play about witches. Although vinegar Tom is set in the 16th or 17th century in rural England, it has a contemporary feel and may be staged very simply. It tells the story of two farm women who are named as witches by a man whom they have spurned sexually. The connection between fear of female sexuality and witch hysteria is shown to be at the root of many of society's problems. Author: Caryl Churchill	BUY TICKETS
