Whitefish Theatre Company’s “The Revolutionists,”a witty, biting, hold-on-to-your-seats theatrical adventure,” opens this weekend with shows Feb. 25 and 26 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 27 at 4 p.m. Performances continue next weekend on March 3, 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. This play, which contains mature language and adult situations, has a preview night performance today, Feb. 24 at 7:30 p.m.
In this fresh and fast-paced history-based comedy by award-winning playwright Lauren Gunderson, a quartet of beautiful, badass women raise hell in Paris during the French Revolution. This bold and blisteringly funny play 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 production features Becky Rygg as Marie Antoinette, Joy James as Olympe de Gouges, Sami Milne as Charlotte Corday, and Sarina Hart as Marianne Angelle.
Tickets are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors, and $10 for students with reserved seating. Tickets for today’s sneak preview performance are $12 for adults and $10 for students with general seating and can only be purchased at the door on the night of that show. Tickets can be purchased at the box office at 1 Central Ave. in Whitefish or by calling 862-5371. Box office hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and one hour before a performance.
