VAGINA! AN IN/EQUALITY EVENT, January 31st from 2:30-5pm in Kochoff A & B, is meant to be interactive and creative. The goal is to educate people regarding issues of equality or lack thereof. Several student organizations are participating with tables meant to draw people in and get them involved. For example, the Vagina Monologues table is considering showing a canvas people can put their handprints onto. They'll then receive a piece of paper with a fact about domestic violence, and it'll be called Hands Are for Helping (Not Hurting). In addition to those tables, there will be a screening of Half the Sky, a film about the oppression of women and girls in the developing world.
The Vagina Monologues, Thursday, February 14 and Friday, February 15, both in 1500 Social Sciences Building (SSB). Showtime is 6:30 pm. Doors open at 6 pm. The award-winning play is based on V-Day Founder/playwright Eve Ensler's interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For over a decade, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.Tickets may be purchased in advance at the CIViC in the University Center for $6 student and $8 non-student or at the door for $8 student and $10 non-student.
