LYSISTRATA AT THE GALLERY PLAYERS

I saw this play when I was in junior high and never forgot it. Written by Aristophanes, Lysistrata, is an antiwar—and feminist—classic.

LYSISTRATA, a bawdy and audacious antiwar classic, is filled to the brim with hilarious innuendo and exposes the shared humanity between two feuding peoples. The women of the warring factions wage a psychological battle of their own when they take over the Acropolis and withhold their sexual favors from the savage local men until such time as the insane conflict is ended.

Lysistrata opens March 15 and runs through March 30, 2008 (12 performances only). Performances take place Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8PM; Sundays at 3PM. Additionally, The Gallery Players is offering a Saturday matinee performance at 2PM on March 22nd and March 29th only.
