Wildwoman at Gateway Theatre

When: March 26 - April 4, 2026
Location: Richmond

Looking for a parents’ night out while the kids are at home or with a sitter? Gateway Theatre presents Wildwoman, a bold and darkly funny new comedy about Catherine de Medici and the drama of the 16th-century French royal court. This clever, adult-oriented production takes a daring look at history with sharp humour, intrigue, and a story inspired by the legend behind Beauty and the Beast. Please note: this is an R-rated production and not intended for children, but it could be the perfect theatre outing for parents looking to enjoy an evening of live entertainment together. Wildwoman runs March 26 – April 4, 2026 on the Gateway Theatre Mainstage. Learn more and get tickets here.
