A local production of "The Vagina Monologues" was staged Sunday, February 14, by V-Day Dayton 2010 at Therapy Cafe, located at 452 E. 3rd Street in Dayton. The event is a global movement to end violence against women and girls and raise funds and awareness through benefit productions of playwright/founder Eve Ensler's award-winning play. The event raised over $1400, 10% of which will go to V-Day 2010 Spotlight cause which is preventing violence against women in the Congo, and the rest will go to Artemis Center, the domestic violence resource agency in Dayton.
Note: Wright State University has rescheduled their V-Day performances which were cancelled due to inclimate weather. On Sunday, February 21, "The Vagina Monologues" will be performed at the Student Union Apollo Room at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and will feature Yellow Springer Amanda Turner. At 4:30 p.m., Eve Ensler's second ground-breaking collection of monologues entitled "A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer" will be performed. Tickets on sale at the Student Union Box Office: $5 in advance for students; $7 in advance for non-students; $10 at the door. Visit http://www.wright.edu/women for more information. Proceeds will go to the Wright State University Sexual Assault Prevention and Education Fund.
