“Vinegar Tom” will open Thursday, Feb. 17, as the next production in the UCF Conservatory Theatre’s 2011 season. This contemporary play by Caryl Churchill runs at the University of Central Florida’s Black Box Theater Feb. 17-27.
“Vinegar Tom,” directed by Julia Listengarten, is a play about witches … without any “witches” in it. With a feminist tone and interwoven music, the play creates parallels and connections between the witch trials of 17th-century England and modern-day attitudes about women in society. A story about oppression and scapegoats, “Vinegar Tom” challenges the audience to think about their responsibility for the discrimination that exists in today’s world.
“Vinegar Tom” will run at 8 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays at the theater, 4000 Central Florida Blvd. in East Orange County. Tickets are $19 for adults, $17 for seniors, $12 for students. Call 407-823-1500.
