Acting Roles for "The Revolutionists" Stage Play
Auditions for "The Revolutionists" stage play! Actors and actresses are needed. See more details below. About the show: Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked comedy explores themes of violence and legacy, art and activism, feminism and terrorism, compatriots and chosen sisters, and the complexities of actually 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. Additional info: Performances February 20 - March 8 The casting team is looking forward to seeing you at the auditions!
4 roles
Badass activist playwright and feminist. Theatre nerd. Smart, but easily distracted. Disorganized. Currently dealing with writer’s block. Wants to support the revolution without losing her head. Not quite as brave as the other ladies. Widowed and never remarried to ensure her personal freedom.
Badass country girl and assassin. Very serious, hardened by righteousness. She’s a girl on a mission. Brave and driven. And very angry.
Less badass, but fascinating former queen of France. Bubbly, graceful, opinionated, totally unaware. She’s funny, but unintentionally so. Seems ditzy, but can actually be very profound. There’s more to her than you think.
A badass woman of color in Paris. She is from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working with her husband Vincent leading a slave revolt in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti). Tough, classy, vigilant, the sanest one of them all.
