When Eve Ensler wrote The Vagina Monologues in 1996, she had no idea of the global impact it would have. The show is based on Ensler's interviews with more than 200 women about their views on sex, relationships and violence against women. Ensler originally starred in it, playing all the various women who share their stories and anecdotes. Now a cornerstone of the global "V-Day" movement, The Vagina Monologues has been translated into over 35 languages with more than 2,000 benefit performances staged worldwide around Valentine's Day to educate millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls. The proceeds from these performances go to community programs that assist victims of domestic violence. The annual student production of The Vagina Monologues will be staged at NAU's Cline Library at 7 p.m. Feb. 2 - 4. The money raised will help fund a rape prevention counselor with the Associated Students for Women's Issues. Tickets are $12 for general admission, $10 for students. Call NAU Central Ticketing at (928) 523-5661, or click here. For information, contact Associated Students for Women's Issues, (928) 523-6946. |
