91社区 Theatre begins 2019-20 season with "The Revolutionists"
September 9, 2019
91社区 Theatre will open its 2019-20 season with the new comedy The Revolutionists, written by Lauren Gunderson. The production runs October 3-6 in the 91社区 Performance Center located in University Center East on 91社区's campus.
Directed by Eric Altheide, associate professor of theatre, The Revolutionists tells the story of four real-life women who lived during the time of the French Revolution: Olympe de Gouges, Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoinette, and Marianne Angelle.听 Despite its hilarity, the play focuses on themes that are still all too relevant for today's world - activism, violence, feminism, legacy, and the ever pressing question: how do we actually change the world?
Altheide will be joined by a design team including 91社区 faculty member Paul Weimer as scenic designer; 91社区 staff member Andy Hammond as technical designer; 91社区 faculty member Shan Jensen as costume designer; 91社区 student Eli Young as sound designer; 91社区 student Rafael Gonzalez III as lighting designer; and 91社区 student Jason Merslich as production stage manager.
The cast of The Revolutionists includes 91社区 students Cheyenne Welte, Jesmelia Williams, Kaitlyn Kearschner, and Gabriella Rivera.
Tickets are $2 for 91社区 students, $10 for 91社区 employees, $4 for non-91社区 students (student ID required), $10 for seniors (60+), and $12 for adults. Shows start at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 2 p.m. for the Sunday matinee. To purchase tickets or for more information visit 91社区 Theatre or call the box office at 812-465-1635.
