| | THE REVOLUTIONISTS
by Lauren Gunderson
The Revolutionists is a comedic play about four real women during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror: playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, who meet in a Parisian prison cell. The play blends historical fact with fiction, using modern language and humor to explore themes of feminism, activism, violence, and legacy, all while leading to the guillotine. It’s described as a “comedy, a quartet, a revolutionary dream fugue, a true story” that questions if art can change the world. | Buy Tickets |

Adapted by Joseph Robinette. Based on the book by E.B. White.
The Children's Literature Association named this "the best American children's book of the past two hundred years," and Joseph Robinette, working with the advice of E.B. White, has created a play that captures this work in a thrilling and utterly practical theatrical presentation. All the enchanting characters are here: Wilbur, Fern, Templeton, and most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” This is a beautiful, knowing play about friendship that will give the audience an evening of enchantment. | Buy Tickets |
