Auditions for the University Theatre fall 2024 production of Caryl Churchill’s Vinegar Tom will be Sept. 29 and Oct. 1 in the Gladys Valley Gymnastics Center 106 on the OSU campus (1701 SW Jefferson Ave) at 6 p.m. The script is available for check out in Snell 129.

Caryl Churchill's experimental 1976 play depicts the stories of Alice and Joan, two outsiders who become the targets of slander and persecution for their seemingly transgressive behavior. Combining a historical narrative of 17th-century witch trials with contemporary rock songs and witty dialogue, Churchill creates a haunting and timely examination of gender, bodily autonomy, and power dynamics.

Those auditioning should read the script beforehand and be prepared to perform cold readings and games. Please wear close-toed shoes to the audition.
