The Revolutionists
by Lauren Gunderson
A new play about four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. This dream-tweaked comedy is about art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and how we actually go about changing the world. It’s a true story. Or total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection. . . that ends in a song and a scaffold, directed by guest artist Kholoud Sawaf.

Book by Rachel Shenkin. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Conceived by Rebecca Feldman
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. The tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing "ding" of the bell that signals a mistake. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful, heartwarming, fast-paced crowd pleaser! Directed by Morgan Hicks.
