The Revolutionists opens October 22 at Valhalla

Valhalla Tahoe’s fall play begins October 22 at the Boathouse Theatre in South Lake Tahoe. Evening performances start at 7:30 PM on October 22, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30 and 31. A final matinee follows November 1 at 2:00 PM. Admission is $25.

Lauren Gunderson’s comedy reimagines revolutionary France through four women whose paths converge amid political violence. Writer Olympe de Gouges is struggling to create work with purpose when Charlotte Corday, Marianne Angelle and Marie Antoinette enter her life. Their encounters explore creative expression, political action, loyalty and how each woman hopes to be remembered. Stephanie Grigsby plays de Gouges, with Joanie San Agustin as Corday, Courtney Cobble as Angelle and Ginger Nicolay Davis as Antoinette.

The production extends beyond the stage, reshaping the small waterfront venue to evoke France in upheaval before the dialogue begins. That approach gives Tahoe audiences a close-up theatrical experience beside the lake. The October 31 show adds a Halloween element, with costumes welcomed but not required. Guests may wear French Revolution-inspired clothing, portray a historical or literary character, or attend in regular attire.
