EXIT Theatre Presents THE CONGRESSWOMAN, A Political Satire For All Times

From the playwright who brought you Lysistrata, and the director who brought you Exit the King, Paradise Street, and more, The Congresswomen, by Aristophanes, brings the relevance, 2400 years after its first production.

A satirical take on a fed-up population challenging a corrupt power structure, with unintended consequences for all, The Congresswomen includes bad decision-making, good intentions, and quite possibly the first recorded poop joke in Western Civilization.

With Lauren Andrei Garcia, Amanda J. Lee, Elliot Lieberman, Kyle McReddie Alexia Staniotes, Brittany Nicole Sims, Steven Westdahl, and Nicole Odell, as Praxagora.
