The women of Greece, tired of the senseless war their husbands have been waging, have banded together to give the men an ultimatum. “You can either go over there and kill someone or stay here and have sex with me.” One of the oldest and funniest plays to deal with the stupidity of war, Lysistrata and her band of accidental Amazons present their solution to the age old problem of how to make peace.
​
For their work on “Lysistrata,” director Emilie Whelan and actress Kerry Cahill received Big Easy Awards for “Best Director of a Comedy” and “Best Actress in a Comedy,” respectively.

Press:
Gambit: “An imaginative, energetic production with an excellent cast”
Times-Picayune: “A comic battle of the sexes”
Rachel Lee: “An aggressive, bawdy production”
