The Boise State Theatre Arts program presents "Lysistrata" by Aristophenes and adapted by Ellen McLaughlin.

Directed by Gordon Reinhart

A partnership with Boise State Improv Club

Danny Peterson Theatre

Tickets available through the Morrison Center website.

This fresh, fast-paced comedy, inspired by the Aristophanes play, follows Lysistrata, an Athenian who calls for the women of Greece to help end the Peloponnesian War. She proposes a radical plan: All Greek women must refuse to engage in lovemaking until the men see reason, lay down their arms, and come home to lie down with their wives in peace. The women agree to make the sacrifice and all hell breaks loose as men wander the country in an agony of unsatisfied lust. Will Lysistrata and her crew accomplish what the politicians could not? Mature content suggested age 16 and older.
