The Birds is set in a landfill/crow’s nest, and inhabited by half-puppet half-man trash art creations, our protagonist’s seeks fortune with a plan that hinges on Man’s “out of sight out of mind,” mentality. The old adage, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” rings true and he prevails by defeating his enemies with their own greed.

Lysistrata, Now

Lysistrata, Now from 9Thirty Theatre Company on Vimeo.

Adaptation & Lyrics by: Jeff Burroughs
Music by: Andrew Pastides & Joe Binder
Directed by: Aaron Gonzalez & Justin Eure

Lysistrata, Now is a fresh adaptation of the anti-war, feminist Greek comedy Lysistrata. This modernized version of the Classic is infused with live blues & folk music and tells the tale of a group of politically-charged women who band together to fight for peace.

We are spreading a message of peace to community that doesn’t normally have access to live theatre in a time when pockets are empty to spread laughter and relief.

Starring: Rebecca Naomi Jones* (Passing Strange, Broadway), Ashley Morris*(Die Mommie Die!, Off-Broadway), Nicole Hodges, and Stacy Salvette. Featuring: Joe Binder*, Freddie Bennett, Jeff Burroughs, Cooper D’Ambrose, Kenn Mann, Andrew Pastides*, and Elizabeth Van Meter. With: Nicole Becker, Jordon Brown, Chance Carroll, Christian Cooper, Lauren Culpepper, and Katherine Elkington.
