NEXT AT RWT . . .
THE REVOLUTIONISTS
by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Tom Ferris
June 9-12, 16-19
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 Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle hang out, murder Marat, and try to beat back the extremist insanity in 1793 Paris. 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.

April-June Lobby Artist - Jeff Boerger
While my association with Riverwalk Theatre goes back more than thirty years as actor, musician or set designer/builder for nearly twenty shows, I’m honored now to present a different art form — photography. It all began for me as a kid with a Brownie Hawkeye taking blurry vacation pictures, or of the family dog who would never sit long enough to catch him in focus. I wasn’t very good. But even then, I sensed my world was best understood visually and that art would somehow be part of my life.
It was later while living and working in Europe that I realized photography was far more than a passing interest. Photography would see the whole world as a palette, then reduce it, one frame at a time, to the essence of a narrative. While my work ranges from abstract to pastoral (I call it pretty stuff), my passion is the grit of “street photography,” random shots of people caught in a fleeting moment that speaks of the human condition and how we as people live together. Honoring the progenitors of this genre, most images are black and white which I believe pulls us into a reality based more on experience and emotion. I believe a good photograph must engage the viewer on two key levels. One, it should be aesthetically interesting in terms of composition and visual balance, something I always strive for. But more importantly, it should create its own narrative, one that stimulates a reaction, personal memory, or perhaps a question. - Jeff Boerger
