Baltimore County, MD (Nov. 6, 2025) – Community College of Baltimore County Performing Arts presents The Revolutionists by Lauren Gunderson, Nov. 20 - 24 in the F. Scott Black Theatre, at CCBC Essex, 7201 Rossville Blvd.
In this irreverent and whimsical historical comedy, four badass women fight back against the political hysteria of 1793 Paris. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle, and deposed queen Marie Antoinette each face the chopping block and their own thoughts on their legacy. Existing in a world somewhere between dream and reality, terror and power, this play explores the power of art, sisterhood and bravery with wit and humor (and ribbons).
