The Revolutionists
2025-06-14 14:00, 2025-06-14 19:30, 2025-06-15 14:00 (America/New_York) | Lost Nation Theater, 39 Main Street, Montpelier, 05602
Four bold n’ bodacious women try not to lose their heads in this rebellious, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution. Amidst the Reign of Terror, four renegades—an assassin, a spy, a writer, and, of course, Marie Antoinette—hang out, plot murder, find friendship, and try to beat back extremist insanity in Paris. Armed with sharp wit and even sharper knives, this comedy of liberté, égalité, and sororité considers how we actually go about changing the world.
It’s a true story. Or total fiction.
By Lauren Gunderson, the playwright who gave us 2018’s Silent Sky.

As You Like It by William Shakespeare is a romantic comedy set in the Forest of Arden, where characters discover love, identity, and forgiveness.
Rosalind, disguised as a boy, flees into the forest with her cousin, Celia, and Touchstone, the court jester to escape her power-hunger aunt, Duchess Fredericka. There she encounters her love Orlando, who loves her in return but doesn’t recognize Rosalind in her disguise. The story weaves together comedic misunderstandings, philosophical musings, and a love triangle, culminating in reconciliations, revealed identities, and multiple weddings, celebrating love’s transformative power and the joy of self-discovery.
This production marks the first time the Valley Players have produced a play by Shakespeare in their 46-year history. The play is directed by local playwright and director, Jeanne Beckwith.

We, the numerous people here on the face of the earth, we occupants of not knowing where else to be, living in the jungle of beastly minutes, need Mother Dirt to rebirth our joy muscles, strip us of our horror inhumanity, and make water and bread of life obligatory.”
Tickets: $15, no one turned away for lack of funds.
