(Mahwah) — The theater program of Ramapo College of New Jersey will present Lysistrata, written by Aristophanes, April 20 – 22 and 26 -2 9.  Ulla Neuerburg-Denzer, an assistant professor of theater at the College, will direct the play.

The theme of Lysistrata proclaims, make love, not war!”  With the Peloponnesian Wars raging, the distressed women of Athens take matters into their own hands, refusing to make love with their husbands until the war is over.  This social spoof, written by Aristophanes in 411 B.C., is as relevant to modern concerns about war as it was in ancient Greece.

This production showcases the talents of Ramapo College theater program students:

The production will be performed Thursday through Saturday, April 20 – 22 and Wednesday through Saturday, April 26 – 29 at 8 p.m. in the Adler Theater, located in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts on the campus of Ramapo College.  Tickets are $10.  For ticket information, contact 201.684.7844.
