The Lysistrata Project, A Crowded Fire Matchbox Production
It's 1958 and women across the country are at once intrigued, excited, and infuriated by an underground radio personality broadcasting illegally over the airwaves. Best friends, Linda, Karen, and Cindy are no exception. Inspired by the Greek heroine, the pirated program's host takes on 'Lysistrata' as her moniker. With untoward honesty and humor she crafts an army of housewives to challenge the sexual repression and cultural anxiety of the time, putting herself and the women who love her in danger.

ONE PLAY, THREE EXPERIENCES. Performed in a beautiful Victorian-style home in Berkeley, this site-specific piece will give you the choice of following one of three individual characters through the private chambers of a house where the smell of home cooking and muffled sounds of arguments and love-making make for a true slice of life (and pie!) experience. Join Linda, Cindy, and Karen as their lives are touched, shaken, and changed by one womans revolution.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.
When purchasing, select one of three characters to follow. Please note, if a particular character's name does not show up as an option when purchasing, this means that her track is sold out for that evening.

Meet CINDY, a consummate housewife forced to choose between the traditions that she has mastered and a bold new path that frightens and intrigues her. To follow Cindy as she makes her way through a world of lies, nuclear war, and pie-making, select "Cindy" when purchasing tickets.

Meet KAREN, a spunky woman decades ahead of her time. Follow Karen as she rejects social norms of the day and leaps head-first into a dangerous new revolution. How much will Karen sacrifice for the sake of a cause? Her friends? Her supportive husband? Her life? Find out by selecting "Karen" when purchasing tickets.

Meet LINDA, a young widow who picks up a hobby that threatens not only her friends and loved ones, but the very fabric of society. How does Linda find her voice in a world doing everything it can to silence her? How many lives will she touch? How many people will she take down with her? Follow Linda as she foments a revolution by selecting "Linda" when purchasing tickets.
