Monique D. Ingram (Marianne), equal parts educator, theater geek, & adventurer, brings humor, heart, & theatrical flair wherever she goes. By day, a human sexuality educator; when curtains rise, an actor and stage manager whose credits range from Heidi Chronicles to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Thrilled to return to Showtimers, honoring the extraordinary women in her life— RIP Carolyn, Dolly & Gloria.
Zoe Marvel (Charlotte) has been seen in a variety of roles on stage from a very young age. A few favorites have been: Sammy (The Tin Woman), Mayzie La Bird (Seussical), Sis (Leaving Iowa), and Martha Gilbreth (Cheaper by the Dozen). She’s also trained at the Academy Of Dance and in NYC with Destination Broadway. She is so grateful for everyone who supports her!
Carolyn Watson (Olympe) is delighted to be part of this cast of extraordinarily talented ladies. Her favorite Showtimers appearances include bartending in Dracula Rides Again and belting her dragony heart out in Monstersongs. When not on the stage, she is a devoted cat mom and gamer. She would like to thank her long-term partner for his constant support of her crazy theater schedule.

A Letter from the Director
Immediately after I was asked to direct this show, I did what I always do and started endlessly researching. I devoured every book, podcast, and movie I could find about the French and Haitian Revolutions. There is a lot of info out there and, no matter how much you think you know, you don’t know the half of it. I considered including some VERY abridged information about the French Revolution, how women helped launch it, and then got booted by the gross men who took it over. It was long. It was bleak, and I literally heard Marianne Angelle say, “Jamie, stop. NO ONE wants to read this.”
Cue the other 3 women murmuring in agreement, and Olympe gently removing my hands from the keyboard. Got it. Enough about the men and their opinions.
I love these women who get nose-to-nose with death and laugh in its face. They are the women I want by my side; the women I want to day-drink with. Their passion hits me right in my core. Any woman who has ever been called too emotional, too loud, or too much will love them as much as I do. They would be pissed to learn that their story and their fight are timeless, but I wanted that reflected in the production design. With our music and costuming, we are honoring the bad-ass women who took up the Revolution for All cause long after our Maries were gone. We honor revolutionists of the 1910-1920s like Alice Paul and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, who fought to get women the right to vote in America; the 1960-1970s like Fannie Lou Hamer and Angela Davis, who reminded second wave feminists that nobody’s free until everybody’s free; and the 1990s Riot Grrrls like Kathleen Hanna and Jennifer Finch, who reclaimed their own girlhood and proved femininity is not weakness. The Charlotte in me wants to make a political statement, but the Antoinette in me is going to let you enjoy this perfect macaron of witty theatre for the treat it is. I hope you laugh out loud because women are hilarious; I hope you cry because their friendships are fierce and beautiful, and I hope you leave here and join the cause because we absolutely need you.
Revolutions that last don’t happen from the top down. They happen from the bottom up.
