Join Gnarly Bard Theater Company for the 3rd show of our 2025/2026 season with THE REVOLUTIONISTS by Lauren Gunderson.

The Revolutionists is a play about four very real women who lived boldly in France during the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror.

Playwright Olympe De Gouge, assassin Charlotte Corday, former queen (and fan of ribbons) Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, loose their heads and try to beat back the extremist insanity in the Paris of 1793. What was a hopeful revolution for the people is now sinking into hyper violent hypocritical male rhetoric. However will modern audiences relate?

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.

Leslie Vincent returns to Gnarly Bard Theater for a night of original vocal jazz. Melting the timeless styles of jazz, blues, and swing with contemporary lyrics, these offerings from Leslie’s latest album capture modern-day life, the drama of dating, and finding yourself in the 21st century. Backed by a full band, this evening promises joy, catharsis, laughter, and maybe even a little dancing. 

BIO: Leslie Vincent is a prolific songwriter and vocalist, known for her distinctive vocals. Equally at home singing jazz, the Great American Songbook, musical theater, and contemporary rock and pop, Leslie Vincent is hailed for her joy-filled performances and “as much a storyteller as she is a jazz singer” (DownBeat Magazine). In 2020, she released her debut album These Foolish Things, which garnered much critical attention from fans and music critics in the Twin Cities, especially from Jazz88 FM, where she’s become a regular in-studio guest. She’s recorded with the band Viewers Like You and performed alongside Twin Cities legends including jeremy messersmith, Joyann Parker, and Patty Peterson. Her latest album, About Last Night, mixes jazz standards, vintage blues, and her own fresh originals, and received local and national acclaim.

Playing music now together for over 20 years, Cannery Row mines an eclectic mix of musical styles including Texas swing, folk, blues, classic country, and all things Americana. The band includes Chris Laumb on guitar, Carol Anderson on bass, Dean Severson on guitar and pedal steel, Gary Dockendorf on mandolin, and Mike Sharp on guitar and harmonica. They all sing. Sometimes together.

John Steinbeck said it best: “Cannery Row…is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light, a tone, a habit, a nostalgia, a dream.  Cannery Row is the gathered and scattered, tin and iron and rust and splintered wood, chipped pavement and weedy lots and junk-heaps…”
