  A wild rollercoaster ride through school, the Multiverse, and finding yourself, over and over and over again…
  It's the last day of school, and Amber bunks off to go partying with a raggle-taggle group of friends: the geeks, the queer kids, the school dropouts.
  But even in this group, it can be a struggle to fit in. Accidentally stumbling through a portal that launches them across the Multiverse, Amber embarks on a journey that will force them to question who they are and who they want to become. As they tumble through time and space, will they finally find somewhere they belong?

  Midsummer Night's Dream (version 4)

  William Shakespeare

  Even people who claim to hate Shakespearean comedy have to admit that they love A Midsummer Night’s Dream.The original play is already naturally divided into three realms: the mortal world, the faerie realm and the play within the play, thus it presents the perfect opportunity to double and triple cast the same actors. So it was really only a matter of time till somebody came up with the crazy idea to stage the whole thing with only three people.Those crazy people are Tony Addison, John Burlinson and Sonia. The outcome of their collaboration is a 3 hour tour-de-force full of surprises: special effects, music, songs. True to the Shakespearean spirit, cross-gender casting was a must, so don't be alarmed when Titania (who will shatter all your preconceptions of the term "fairy queen" forever) enters the stage.Now you're forewarned, and if you still think you're ready, settle back in your armchair and let a bit of faerie into your world. We hope you enjoy the ride.(Summary by Tony Addison, John Burlinson and Sonia)

  Lysistrata

  Aristophanes

  Lysistrata by Aristophanes is a bold and satirical comedy from ancient Greece that combines humor, political critique, and social commentary in a strikingly original way. First performed in 411 BCE during the Peloponnesian War, the play presents a daring and imaginative solution to the endless conflict between Athens and Sparta.
  
  At the center of the story is Lysistrata, a clever and determined Athenian woman who grows frustrated with the ongoing war and its toll on society. In an unprecedented act of unity, she gathers women from rival city-states and persuades them to withhold intimacy from their husbands until peace is achieved. This unconventional strategy sets the stage for a series of comedic encounters, witty exchanges, and escalating tensions between the sexes.
  
  Through sharp dialogue and exaggerated situations, Aristophanes uses humor to explore serious themes such as the futility of war, the dynamics of power, and the role of women in a male-dominated society. The play challenges traditional gender roles and highlights the intelligence, influence, and solidarity of women, even within a restrictive cultural framework.
  
  Blending farce with meaningful reflection, Lysistrata remains one of Aristophanes' most enduring works. Its playful yet pointed critique of politics and human behavior continues to resonate with modern audiences, offering both laughter and insight into the timeless desire for peace and understanding.
