LCT is Back!

 

 

Lompoc Civic Theatre is back – at the Mission Club!

The Revolutionists is a new play about four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.

The characters: Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle. They hang out, murder the journalist Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. What started as a hopeful revolution for the people is now sinking into a hyper-violent hypocritical mess. 

This dream-tweaked comedy is about violence and legacy, 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 comedy that ends in a song… and a scaffold. This play is a dark comedy about four badass women during the French Revolution.  Please be aware this show contains explicit language--after all, it’s about the struggle to survive a turbulent revolution!

The show runs for 6 performances only – March 25, April 8, April 22, May 6, June 10, June 17 at the Mission Club, 4300 Club House Rd., Lompoc. Dinner features French-inspired cuisine, with a choice from several main courses. Tickets are $65 for dinner and the show. Please call 805-735-2281 for reservations. Advanced payment by check or credit card is required 8 days before the performance. You may also make reservations online through FreshTix.com. Seating is very limited.
