Kokomo Civic Theatre presents The Revolutionists, Fri., Feb. 27 - Sun., March 1, at Havens Auditorium on the IU Kokomo campus, 2300 S. Washington St.
In The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson (Silent Sky), 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.
The cast includes:
- Melissa Jenkins as Olympe de Gouges – Badass activist playwright and feminist.
- Molly Lewis as Charlotte Corday – Badass country girl and assassin.
- Reilley Cessna as Marie-Antoinette – Less badass but fascinating former queen of France.
- Toni Price as Marianne Angelle – A badass black woman in Paris, from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working with her husband, Vincent.
The Revolutionists is being directed by Steve Hughes.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, February 27 and 28, and 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 1 at Havens Auditorium, IU Kokomo.
Ticket prices are $18 for adults, $16 for senior citizens, and $14 for students (through college). Due to adult language, The Revolutionists is not recommended for children under 13. Tickets may be purchased online, by phone at 765-454-8800, or in person at the Havens box office one hour before each performance and 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday, February 25 and 26.
