A fast-paced comedy set in Tobago. In the hope of entertaining future guests, an English hotel owner proposes that he and his Black handyman work up a satire on the Robinson Crusoe story. This metatheatrical two-hander dissects the effects of colonialism, examining the way that British imperial policies create fateful cultural links forever. Joy and dark humor abound as the hotel owner and handyman explore who is allowed to use language and in what way.

Synopsis:
In a Berlin nightclub, as the 1920s draw to a close, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary, Cabaret explores the dark, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Cliff, a young American writer newly arrived in Berlin, is immediately taken with English singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile, Fräulein Schneider, proprietor of Cliff and Sally’s boarding house, tentatively begins a romance with Herr Schultz, a mild-mannered fruit seller who happens to be Jewish. | BUY TICKETS |

Directed by: Keri Castro

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.
