Vagina Monologues to Be
Performed February 12–14
The MHC chapter of the national V-Day
College Campaign will present The Vagina
Monologues, directed
by Lori Feldstein ’04. Perfor-mances will be Thursday,
February 12, and Friday, February 13, at 8 pm, and Saturday,
February 14, at 2 pm in Chapin Auditorium.
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. By raising
money and awareness, V-Day unifies and strengthens antiviolence efforts throughout
the world. Eve Ensler, the author of the Obie Award-winning The
Vagina Monologues,
has generously made her play available to V-Day as the basis for its benefit
productions.
The V-Day campaign is in its sixth year at Mount Holyoke, the first of the Five
Colleges to participate in the national campaign.
The Mount Holyoke production last year resulted in a sizable donation to Womanshelter/Compañeras
in Holyoke, Massachusetts, one of the leading organizations in support of battered
women in western Massachusetts.
Tickets, $5 for students and $6 for the general public, are available at Blanchard
from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, and will be sold at the door. Chapin Auditorium is
