Already saw The Mannequin and looking for another play to fill out your Classical Theatre Bingo Card? May we recommend Glass Canon's Lysistrata?

Aristophanes’ classic comedy gets a facelift in this new adaptation, directed by Emma Jaster. Desperate to end the bloodshed of war, Lysistrata and her comrades stage a sit-in at the capital and swear an oath never to touch their men until the war is over. The men may laugh it off, but that will only make things... harder. Boyfriends, boos, and baby daddies beware! The Peloponnesian War may be ancient history, but this thoroughly physical production is anything but.

Runs until June 7th!

The French Rom/Com you didn’t know you needed! Sophie’s father wants her to marry a ridiculous man—on the sole grounds that he’s from France. To get out of the marriage, Sophie has one option: to outwit her suiter and prove that he’d rather marry a mannequin than her.
