Volunteers needed for
The Lysistrata Project in Olympia!

The Lysistrata Project is a world-wide theatrical event for peace. Theatre artists from around the planet are raising their collective voice against war by producing readings of Aristophanes’ Lysistrata on 03/03/03.

Olympia’s performance will happen in the Longhouse at The Evergreen State College at 7:30 p.m. on March 3rd. This performance will be free and open to the public.

Lysistrata is a bawdy ancient Greek comedy about a group of women who occupy the state treasury and then refuse to have sex with their husbands until they stop the war. We hope it will provide a humorous entree into a healthy community dialogue about the impending war with Iraq.

This will be a very informal and rough production, done with scripts in hand and minimal rehearsal. We need actors, stagehands, and helpers of all kinds. Previous theatrical experience is welcome but not required. This project is open to anyone who wants to participate. Please spread the word!

If you’d like to help or want more information, contact Marla Beth Elliott at elliotma@evergreen.edu or 867-6096, or show up at the organizational meeting Wednesday, February 19th at 5:15 in Lab1 1047 at TESC. For directions, see http://www.evergreen.edu/maps/gethere.htm.
