CURRENTLY

I'm starring in the stage comedy "(Loosely) Lysistrata" by Stewart Zuckerbrod, based on a German graphic novel, which in turn is based on the classic Aristophanes comedy. What happens when the women of Athens go on a sex strike to get their men to end the war with Sparta? Well, if the local drag queen has a say, things might turn out different than expected! But it will be hilarious finding out!
