Lysistrata
(Production dates: April 16-25, 2009)
Directed by Kathy Lingo
Are women the weakest sex? Does their soft skin and feminine form decide their fate in life? Love can make a fool of you, but desire can drive you crazy? This Greek classic by Aristophanes was the first to promote “make love, not war.”
