The Vagina Monologues
2019-02-22 20:00 - 22:00 | Zlock Performing Arts Center, 275 Swamp Rd, Newtown, 18940, United States
Join us for the 20th anniversary of the Obie Award-winning The Vagina Monologues and founding of V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against all women and girls (cisgender, transgender, and those who hold fluid identities that are subject to gender-based violence). This 2019 version of Eve Ensler’s iconic play is a whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone which introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and transgender women. Dramatically funny, tender, provocative and ultimately political, it is a series of interviews with a diverse group of over 200 women about their vaginas, offering new perspectives on the complexities of growing up female and the hurdles women face in overcoming misogynist conceptions of the female body. Stay for a post-performance discussion with the cast and a representative of A Woman’s Place.
