The Revolutionists
THE REVOLUTIONISTS by Lauren Gunderson
Featuring performances by: Amy D. Lovin, Rhondia Grant, Emmi Shepard Doucette, Joan Scheetz; Director by Lynda Dalton-Gallagher
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It's a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.
October 19, 20, 26, & 27, November 2, 3. Saturday night performances at 8pm. Sunday matinees at 3pm. Doors open 45 minutes before showtime. Desserts and beverages served before the show and during intermission. $25 per person, inclusive. (Military, teacher and student discounts available.)
