Vinegar Tom
By Caryl Churchill
The innovative British dramatist Caryl Churchill explores witchcraft though trials in early modern Europe and the English and Irish folklore of the time. This disturbing drama deals with the consequences of unrequited love and the tragic cost of mistaken magic. Rather disturbing, it is intended for mature audiences.

The Philadelphia Story
By Philip Barry
Tracy Lord is about to marry . . . again! Unfortunately for her, her ex-husband shows up unannounced, a pair of snooping reporters crash the event, her bottom-pinching uncle has to pretend to be her father, her fiancé treats her like a goddess on a pedestal (which she thought she would enjoy), her little sister is scheming behind her back, and she has just had too much champagne to drink! Of course everything works out in the end—whatever gave you the idea it wouldn’t?
