The Lanikai Mortgage Players open their Spring 2026 production on Friday,
May 1st at 7:30pm with the melodrama, “Wedlockout!” Or “Bedfellows Make
Strange Politics!” This show presents a twist to the Ancient Greece classic,
Aristophanes’ Lysistrata as an 1890’s American political satire dealing with
a clash of the sexes due to their opposing views of war and corruption.
The ironic timeliness of this melodrama written by the late Nelson Shreve,
during a previous Republican administration, will surprise our audiences
while they “swoon” for our heroine, “cheer” for our hero, and “boo” our
villains.
“Wedlockout!” is directed by Brenda-Lee Hillebrenner and stars Alex
Rosenthal, Courtney Nichols, Tad Grenert, Rebecca Horne, Carol Nichols,
Jim Duca, Joe Calavita, Shannon Murphy, Deb Lamb and Dena Clements.
Join us at The Nelson and Lucille Shreve Theater in Lanikai Park on Fridays
and Saturdays, May 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th. Curtain is at 7:30pm.
Box office opens at 6:30pm. There is free parking in the park and, as always,
