It’s a play! It’s a community art exhibit! It’s a food drive! IT’S A REVOLUTION!

Come see THE REVOLUTIONISTS March 14-16.

It’s a BRUTALLY FUNNY comedy starring four furiously hilarious women.

It’s a TIMELY community art exhibit weaving in the original works from local women.

It’s an OPPORTUNITY FOR MUTUAL AID as we support Mutual Ground and their work with women. A portion of the proceeds from the show go to support their work AND we’re hosting a food and personal care drive at the theater all three nights of the show!

This is what REVOLUTION looks like. To quote the show: “They CAN be kind and creative.” Will you create with us?

Tickets still available (but they’re selling fast).

Use code CHANGE for $7 off.
