Lysistrata Jones

Director: Ryan VanDerBoom
Douglas Carter Beane (book) and Lewis Flinn (music and lyrics)

Runtime: Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes (includes intermission)

Lysistrata Jones is a high-energy, pop-infused musical comedy that reimagines an ancient Greek story through the lens of modern college life. Set on a struggling university basketball team that has not won a single game in years, the show follows Lysistrata Jones, a determined and charismatic student who is fed up with the team’s constant losing streak and lack of focus. Convinced that something has to change, she rallies her fellow girlfriends to take a bold stand and withhold romantic attention from their partners until the team finally wins a game.
 

What begins as a playful protest quickly turns into a test of willpower, loyalty, and self-discovery. The players must confront their own insecurities, ego, and fear of failure, while the women navigate the complexities of relationships and independence. At the center is a story about accountability and what it takes to commit to something bigger than oneself.
 

Driven by an infectious score blending pop, rock, and contemporary musical theater, Lysistrata Jones bursts with humor, heart, and high-energy choreography. Beneath its comedic premise, the show explores themes of teamwork, respect, and the importance of communication in relationships. As tensions rise and emotions run high, both the team and their partners are pushed to grow in unexpected ways.
 

Ultimately, Lysistrata Jones is a celebration of determination, unity, and finding your voice. It reminds us that change often begins with a single bold idea and the courage to follow it through.
