Vermont Theatre Company presents “I, Joan,” the powerful imagining of the story of Joan of Arc as a genderqueer warrior stepping into their power and identity – full of vulnerability, humor, tragedy, dance battles, absurdity, and revolutionary spirit! 

You may have heard of Joan of Arc as a teenaged peasant, leader in the French army, a heretic who refused to stop wearing men’s clothing. Perhaps you know them as a martyr, and later, a saint. Joan’s story has been told many times since the 1400s, written by mostly men, with those men’s understandings of Joan’s actions and identity recorded as history. Playwright Charlie Josephine and Director Jess Iris invite us to explore the possibility of Joan as Joan might have seen their identity, spirituality and community with today’s language and understanding. 

Catch the show at Epsilon Spires in Brattleboro on Friday March 20th at 7pm and Sunday March 22nd at 2pm. (Note that Sunday March 22nd is a special understudy led performance.) The following weekend: Friday and Saturday March 27th-28th at 7pm, and Sunday March 29th at 2pm.

Given the content of the historical events, this show contains themes of state oppression, misogyny, misgendering, and more. 

Tickets are offered on a sliding scale from $30- $10, though no person will be turned away for lack of funds. Tickets can be purchased on the Vermont Theatre Company website at vermonttheatrecompany.org/events or at the door the evening of the show.

Epsilon Spires is an accessible venue. The historic cathedral that houses Epsilon Spires has undergone renovations to be wheelchair accessible and ADA-compliant. Accessible parking is available behind the building, the accessible entrance is at the side of the building, and our restrooms are fully accessible and gender-neutral.
