Lysistrata
2018-06-22 19:30 - 21:30 | Northfield Arts Guild Theater, 411 Third Street W, Northfield, MN, 55057, United States
by Aristophanes
Part of our 2017-18 Striking Conversations Theater Season
The original burlesque comedy about
just wanting to live in peace!
A hit since 411 B.C., this social spoof offers a surprisingly contemporary take on anti-war sentiment and the creative spirit. The comedy glorifies the power of women in the face of battle, and playwright Nicholas Rudall’s new translation captures the splendid variety of Aristophanes’ astute theatricality and poetic wit.
Athens and Sparta have been at war for years with no end in sight. Peace-loving Lysistrata has a solution – she unites the women of both city-states to withhold sexual relations to encourage their soldiers to come to their senses. Putting the plan into action, however, proves more difficult and hilarious than anyone imagined. This production contains mature comedic content and language.
Nicholas Rudall says of the play, “What the women are saying is, ‘We will produce no more children for men to use as the fodder of war.’ This is a play about fertility and survival, rather than sex, frustration, and gratification.”
Be prepared to laugh! Without apology, this production contains zestfully mature comedic content and language.

Featuring Current Northfield Area K-12 Art Educators
John Bade, Angie Ekern, Rafael Estrella, Karna Hauck, Chris Holmquist, Ren Kurtz, Jill Luoma-Overstreet, Erica Ness, Katherine Norrie, Vicki Stanley & Kate Woodstrup.
Students, past and present, will enjoy seeing the artwork of their teachers! In addition to inspiring young people as current K-12 Art Educators in Northfield Schools, the participants in this exhibition are active artists. These colleagues often interact in their professional capacity as art teachers, but this exhibition gives them the platform to showcase the work they create outside of the classroom.
Many of these artists have shown their work independently; this exhibition represents the second time that this particular group of artists has displayed collectively. The intent is that this will exhibition of artwork by a group of current area art educators will happen every three years. Visitors to the exhibition will experience ceramics, prints, drawings, paintings and mixed media.

Collective Artist Statement:
As art teachers, we are GIVERS. We give of our time, our energy, our compassion and our ideas. We are also CREATORS. We value time in the studio considering our own thoughts and passions, and how we want to communicate these ideas through the visual language. The creative process fills our cups, just as we see it fill the cups of many young people on a daily basis.
Our lives are woven together through this show and the many ways that we have the privilege to interact because of our rich history of experience together growing creativity in young people. It is a privilege and an honor for us to do this life work in the classroom and to share this work that we do beyond the classroom with you. Our thanks to the Northfield Arts Guild for creating a space for us to shine and be recognized as the artists that we are.

NOTE: “The authors of Next to Normal feel strongly that the profanity in the play is necessary to portray these particular characters fully and honestly, to give a real sense of the depths of their feelings and the stakes involved in their interactions, and to paint a realistic picture of how people under pressure speak. Further, the profanity is never used gratuitously, but in each case for specific dramatic effect.” – MTI
