LYSISTRATA presented by Glass Canon Theatre Company

Description

Lysistrata
Directed by Emma Jaster
Adapted from Aristophanes by Emma Jaster and Gil Mitchell,
with assistance from Stephen Halliwell, Sarah Ruden, and others
Presented by Glass Canon Theatre Company
May 23rd-June 7th, 2026 @ Dance Loft on 14

Aristophanes' classic comedy gets a facelift in this new adaptation directed by Emma Jaster. It's a Manosphere world, but the women have not lost their will. They still have the oldest tricks of the trade, and they're ready to play. In this thoroughly physical adaptation, boyfriends, boos, and baby daddies best beware. Desperate to end the pointless bloodshed, the woman are seizing more than the treasury. They want armed men off the streets and full control of the nation's funds. The men may laugh it off, but that will only make things...harder. This play may be ancient history, but Glass Canon makes it seem like anything but.
