Lysistrata has planned a meeting between all of the women of Greece to discuss the plan to end the Peloponnesian War. As Lysistrata waits for the women of Sparta, Thebes, and other areas to meet her she curses the weakness of women. Lysistrata plans to ask the women to refuse sex with their husbands until a treaty for peace has been signed. Lysistrata has also made plans with the older women of Athens (the Chorus of Old Women) to seize the Akropolis later that day….  As the women sacrifice a bottle of wine to the Gods in celebration of their oath, they hear the sounds of the older women taking the Akropolis, the fortress that houses the treasury of Athens. Contains adult themes and references.

I HATE HAMLET
Troy Civic Theatre
Sept. 15-24
[Troy]

Directed by Erin Gibbons

Cast: Madison Wells as Felicia Dantine, Doug Gibbons as Andrew Rally, Michelle Peterson as Deirdre McDavey, Grace Conkel as Lillian Troy, Michael Schumacher as John Barrymore & Derek Dunavent as Gary Peter Lefkowitz

Actor Andrew Rally has it all – a hit TV series, beautiful girlfriend, a devoted agent, the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park, and the perfect NYC apartment.  However, as his life starts to fall apart, the ghost of John Barrymore is summoned during a séance.  Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.
