Theatre Onset Auditions for “Lysistrata: A Woman’s Translation” a play by Drue Robinson.
Lysistrata is a bawdy, riotous, energetic &hilarious play, based on the Ancient Greek play of the same name by Aristophanes. It is full of sexual innuendo, strong women, ridiculous men and you will need to be bold and outspoken, not afraid to be rude and loud. And the play is written in rhyme.
