In ancient Greece, Lysistrata, an Athenian woman, gathers the women of various Greek city-states to make an oath of celibacy until the Peloponnesian War is over! Their husbands come home ready to ‘plough’ only to find their wives denying them sex. While the Greek women’s chorus holds the gold in the Acropolis hostage to block funding for this war, the grumpy Greek men’s chorus are try to burn the hags out with their torches! Will the women ever give in to sex instead of accomplishing their ultimate goal for peace? Come support this ball-clenching production during the holiday season. LGA have presented their Afro-Greek version of Lysistrata to their local community in Shreveport, New Orleans, Montgomery and other cities in the south. The organization’s aim is to present educational and entertaining performances. They are truly excited about introducing this experimental classic piece of early comedy, culture and politics! Chicago, come and take a break from your Christmas shopping and enjoy this comedy! This production is intended for mature audiences 18 and up. Suggestive sexual content and some coarse language. Shreveport, Louisiana Performing Artists Include: Caitlin Douglas, Brittainy Pope, Candice Ratliff, Lindamarie Catanese, Anjellica Rogers, Mary K. Jones, Moses Daniel, Richard D. Lee,Christopher Authur Henderson, and Oba Shango.
