In reference to the character descriptions below - most characters we
encounter currently are on the binary and are written with the he/him or
she/her pronouns and you will see that are in the following descriptions.
But, however limiting the descriptions are, our casting seeks to be as
inclusive as possible and we invite gender non-conforming, genderqueer,
transgender, non-binary actors to submit for the roles they most identify
with. We will also list race/ethnicity when specific to the character but
are otherwise seeking all races and ethnicities. As an ADA compliant
theatre, we welcome performers of all abilities and will make all
reasonable accommodations in order to cast performers, regardless of
disability, in any role possible. Please let us know if you have any
questions, concerns, or if there are any accommodations we can provide.

Theatre of Louisville).

Synopsis: Four beautiful, badass women are reimagined as the heroes of the
French Revolution in this passionate new girl-powered comedy. Think a hip
Tina Fey sensibility with wigs and corsets! Although the play is set in the
French Revolution, it has a modern sensibility and all women must be
skilled in comedy, and good with language.
Available roles:
OLYMPE DE GOUGES: Female, 30s/40s. Badass activist, playwright, and
feminist. Theatre nerd, excitable, passionate, a showman. Widowed and never
remarried to ensure her personal freedom.
Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

MARIANNE ANGELLE: Female, 30s, black. A badass black woman in Paris. She is
from the Caribbean, a free woman, a spy working with her husband, Vincent.
Tough, classy, vigilant, the sanest one of them all.
Ethnicity: Black / African Descent

CHARLOTTE CORDAY:Female, 20s. Badass country girl and assassin. Very
serious, hardened by righteousness, never been kissed. Has a pocket watch
she keeps checking. Also plays FRATERNITÉ.
Ethnicity: All Ethnicities

MARIE ANTOINETTE: Female, 30s/40s. Less badass but fascinating former queen
of France. Bubbly, graceful, opinionated, totally unaware, unintentionally
rude, and oddly prescient. Never had a real friend. Also plays FRATERNITÉ.
Ethnicity: All Ethnicities
