Lysistrata at Theatre UAF (2002)

WARNING!  Lysistrata is an Ancient Greek comedy about women having a sex strike to force their men to end a war.  It is lewd, silly, and includes costumes which replicate oversized genitals.  If you are underage or are simply offended by this sort of thing, please go away now, and DON'T SCROLL DOWN!
