The institution of the household in Assemblywomen is expanded into the body politic but its fundamental nature does not change.

Assemblywomen Joan M. Quigley, D-Hudson, and Linda Stender, D-Union, called on New Jerseyans last week to stop buying the book, Godless: The Church of Liberalism, and for retailers in the state to stop selling it.

But really, Varekai's most visceral pleasures come when acrobats levitate majestically (so what if you can see the cables?) or when tumblers spin and fly through the vault of this enclosed sky with daring, precision and grace.
It's also a prerequisite to appreciating Greg Robic's musical adaptation of Aristophanes's battle-of-the-sexes satire, which seems firmly and equally targeted at hijinks-loving frat boys and the over-65 demographic that seemed to account for the majority of his opening-night audience.
A good example of both comes in Act 1 when the chorus rhymes "homophobic" with "Greg Robic." It's not that one expects a politically savvy satire -- although one would welcome it to counteract the play's reactionary tinge -- but some good jokes and situations wouldn't have hurt.
