"Lysistrata" – Monmouth ME

Jun 25, 2022 - Aug 18, 2022 796 Main Street, Monmouth, ME

On a mission to end the Peloponnesian war, Lysistrata bands together the women of Greece in a pact to withhold sex until the men declare peace. As the women tantalize and tease their way to a cease-fire, a timeless story emerges of sexual politics, political power struggles, and the battle between the sexes. Funny, poignant, and a little dirty, Lysistrata is a comic romp of more than adequate proportions. See the website for a detailed performance schedule. 
1 or 7:30 p.m.
Adults, $37; seniors, $32; students, $23
