Charlotte Corday - Sarah Baker
Marie Antoinette - Jenn Rian
Synopsis:
Four beautiful, badass women lose their heads in this irreverent, girl-powered comedy set during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror. Playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. This grand and dream-tweaked 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 total fiction. Or a play about a play. Or a raucous resurrection that ends in a song and a scaffold.

Rhonny Dam
Olympe de Gouges
Rhonny Dam (Olympe de Gouges) is an author and Overshoot activist who first auditioned for community theater as a high school student some centuries ago. Her parents thought that by giving her the chance to try, and fail, she would get the theater bug out of her system. BUT, she got the part and has been going strong ever since. She considers playing Olympe the role of a lifetime and is so thrilled to be here making her R-ACT debut!
She most recently appeared as Louise in Love/Sick with Youngstown Playhouse (2024). Some of her favorite past roles include the Narrator in The Rocky Horror Show (2022), Charlotte Hay in Moon Over Buffalo (2018), and Ida in Cemetery Club (2017), all with New Castle Playhouse.
