Civic Theatre: The Revolutionists (click for more info)

Grand Rapids Civic Theatre presents The Revolutionists, on stage September 23rd through October 9th.

Four beautiful, boss women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror. A playwright, an assassin, a former queen, and a Haitian rebel hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand comedy is about violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we go about changing the world. 

The Revolutionists at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre. Tickets on sale now at GRCT dot org.
