The Revolutionists wins BIG at MTA

Starkville Community Theatre’s production of The Revolutionists is heading to the Southeastern Theatre Conference Festival in Chattanooga in early March after winning Best Production at the state competition in January. The show earned nine awards in total:

• Warren McDaniel Award for Best Production


• Outstanding Direction: Louie P. Gallo


• Outstanding Performance in a Lead Role: Victoria Green and Jessica Jolly


• Outstanding Achievement in Acting: Grace Brown and Sara Wade


• Outstanding Ensemble


• Outstanding Scenic Design: Louie P. Gallo and Regan Plunkett


• Outstanding Technical Achievement

The Revolutionists centers on playwright Olympe de Gouges (Sara Wade), assassin Charlotte Corday (Grace Brown), former queen—and avid ribbon enthusiast—Marie Antoinette (Jessica Jolly), and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle (Victoria Greene) as they hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity of 1793 Paris.

This grand and dreamy 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 it’s total fiction.
