Emilie: La Marquise Du Châtelet Defends her Life Tonight

Directed by Dr. Ray Miller

Tonight, 18th century scientific genius Emilie du Châtelet, and romantic companion to France’s preeminent literary star, Voltaire, is determined to answer the question: love or philosophy? In this highly theatrical, fast, funny, sexy rediscovery of one of history’s most intriguing women, Emilie defends her life and loves leaving a legacy that echoes its way into our hearts and minds today. Produced by special arrangement with Concord Theatricals. “This ambitious, non-linear experiment is a highly theatrical romp that literally crackles with electricity.” —LA/OC Examiner

Students $10, Faculty/Staff $15, Adults $17
