SUMMARY:Violet Surprise Theatre Presents: The Revolutionists
DESCRIPTION:The Revolutionists will not be televised. It will be dramatized – by Violet Surprise Theatre\, whose mission is to vibrantly validate the voices of women. Written by Lauren Gunderson and directed by Iris Sowlat\, The Revolutionists is a hysterical and historical (or\, more accurately\, herstorical) play that invites audiences to experience the French Revolution from a woman’s perspective. So don’t pardon our French. Pardon our Frenchwomen and their très merciless treatment during the Reign of Terror.

SUMMARY:(out): A New Musical
DESCRIPTION:In the near future\, a geomagnetic storm hits the Earth\, wipes out the internet\, and plunges the world into a total blackout. Five young adults must stick together as they work through dwindling resources\, scorching summer temperatures\, isolation from the outside world\, and their own complicated histories with one another. But how far can they stretch their limited survival knowledge to make it to the next day… or week… or… \nSet to an original indie folk score\, (out) explores our response to catastrophe\, queer love\, and the difference between existing versus actively participating in our own lives.
