The site organized an event on Monday, March 3rd, 2003, which it called the "first-ever world-wide theatrical event for peace." Taking place in numerous cities worldwide, the site urged visitors:
Don't miss this unique opportunity to stand up for peace in your community, and provide a humorous entree into a healthy dialogue about current affairs. Attend or help plan a reading of Lysistrata, Aristophanes' anti-war comedy, to protest the rush to war on Iraq. Many of the readings will benefit non-profit organizations working for peace and humanitarian aid in Iraq.
The Aristophanes comedy, dating to ancient Greece, concerns women withholding sex until men agree to outlaw war.
