ABOUT THE LYSISTRATA FESTIVAL
Birthed from the minds of four comedians and writers comes the Lysistrata Comedy Festival. Lysistrata was able to gather women together and use unconventional means to stop war. Well, we posit that we can change anything for the better with a little female ingenuity. Join us as we celebrate women and the power of our collective work, and take over New Orleans for three days of nonstop comedy!
