We are currently accepting submissions from AEA and non-union actors for our upcoming production of THE REVOLUTIONISTS by Lauren Gunderson, directed by Lauren Love.
Rehearsals begin August 15, 2023. Performances September 8 – 23, 2023, with a possible extension through September 30, 2023. This will be an AEA-SPT Category 2 Contract (one contract available for the production).

Roles Available:
OLYMPE de GOUGES: 38. Badass activist playwright and feminist. Theatre nerd, excitable, passionate, a showman. Widowed and never remarried to ensure her personal freedom.
CHARLOTTE CORDA: 25. Badass country girl and assassin. Very serious, hardened by righteousness, never been kissed. Has a pocket watch she keeps checking
MARIE-ANTOINETTE: 38. Less badass but fascinating former queen of France. Bubbly, graceful, opinionated, totally unaware, unintentionally rude, and oddly prescient. Never had a real friend
MARIANNE ANGELLE: 30s. A badass black woman in Paris. She is from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working with her husband, Vincent. Tough, classy, vigilant, the sanest one of them all.

General Auditions
The pandemic has had an effect on our ability to audition actors. Previously, we attended the TPS (Theatre Puget Sound) general auditions each year, and hope to do so again when they restart. In addition, we have hold annual general auditions for our upcoming season in the late summer or early fall. Please watch this site for our next general auditions date (for the 2024 season) and submission instructions.
