Ah, Lysistrata, still bawdy and relevant after 2500 years - and since human nature hasn't changed much, infinitely adaptable. Aly Kantor's decision to set her adaptation in a whaling town at the dawn of the 20th century is inspired (even if you're not up on your Port Jefferson history). It underscores the theme of the difficulties of progress, as new understandings struggle to supplant dying traditions - and lets her employ some gorgeous, gobsmacking language. Hysterical in all the best ways!

WOW! I never knew that a play would literally blow me out of the water! I will admit I have never read Lysistrata, but with this play, I felt like it was a great introduction to it! I loved the characters, the story, and uses and tellings of abstinence. What I loved most of all, was Elizabeth striving to save the whales, and standing up for what she believed in! I'm now craving donuts! Bravo Aly!

"Standing up for your beliefs is dreadful, tediously lonely business." is one of the greatest lines I've ever read in a play. Hilarious and moving, blowhole is an incredibly relevant piece in 2024. With so many excellent roles for actors of varying ages, this ensemble driven show is sure to please audiences- Highly Recommend!
