Bergenstages Presents Lysistrata in Paramus

Get ready for a modern take on a classic Greek comedy! The Bergenstages theatre troupe will bring Aristophanes’ Lysistrata to the Ender Hall Lab Theatre located on Bergen Community College’s main campus, 400 Paramus Road, Paramus, New Jersey.

First performed in Athens, Greece in 411 B.C., Lysistrata is a sharp-witted satire about one woman’s daring plan to end the Peloponnesian War—by rallying women to withhold intimacy from their lovers, sparking a battle of the sexes. Directed by Peter A. Campbell, Ph.D., this adaptation by Carolyn Balducci reimagines the story in a modern setting filled with palm trees and pool toys.

Note: This production contains adult language and situations. Viewer discretion is advised.
