OUR 25/26 PRODUCTIONS

Fall 2025 Productions

The Revolutionists

By Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Samantha Richert Boehm

Performances October 15-19, 2025

Production Synopsis:
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back extremist insanity in Paris 1793. This grand and 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 a total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection…that ends in a song and a scaffold.

THE NUMBERS

Directed by Jonathan Carr
Devised by the company

Performances: November 13 – 23, 2025

Production Synopsis: 
This original theatre piece examines the many ways we interact with data in our lives: how it reflects the things we know and fear, how it can be a tool for us to help repair a broken world, and how it can be manipulated whether or not we are paying attention. This performance experiments with creative forms of audience deliberation, and portions of it are designed in collaboration with the City of Boston’s Office of the Environment to feed community wisdom into the city’s climate action plan. This production is developed with the Data Theatre Collaborative, as part of its Civic Data Theatre project, with support from the Mellon Foundation.

Spring 2026 Productions

Poor Clare

By Chiara Atik
Directed by Melinda Lopez

Performances: February 18 – 22, 2026

Production Synopsis:
Life’s been good to Clare. She’s stylish, rich and has great hair. She’s kind of like a contestant on The Batchelor. Not the dramatic, villainous one, but the nice one that rubs the backs of the girls who are crying.

But when Clare meets a radical young man ranting in the piazza, he pretty much opens her eyes to a bunch of stuff about the world she can’t unsee. Clare’s mom and sister totally don’t get it, but suddenly, 13th century Italy feels a lot more complicated.

Poor Clare is a modern take on the timeless question: what does living a good life really mean?
