"VAGINA MONOLOGUES"

and other women related stories
FEBRUARY 14th & 15th

You may remember, back in October of last year, there was a call for the submission of original manuscripts of "women-centered" stories to be acted out with the original The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler. Well, V-Day is just around the corner, as M and D productions presents The Vagina Monologues and Other Women-Centered Stories this Valentines Day and President's Day, February 14th and 15th at 7:30pm with a matinee at 2pm on the 14th.

Director, Stacy Sand chose six original monologues from the submissions to be used in this production. Most of the authors are local. Linda Stetson writes about the role of toilet paper in women's lives, while Kathy Bennett explores the world of computer dating. Columnist, Suze Hargrave tackles Body Image, while columnist Susan Bruce takes us to the frontlines of Iraq. There were even a couple of submissions from male authors, with the one chosen exploring the reaction of adult students to a showing of The Vagina Monologues.

There are ten actresses portraying the different stories that are told in this production, with some familiar names to theatre goers, and some who are new to our local stage. In order of appearance will be Mandy Ferriman, Virginia Moore, Rebekah Bushey, Chrissy Howe, Elizabeth Rhymer, Brenda Bailey, Paula Sullivan Jones, Heather Letarte, Debbie Cross, and Amanda Edgerly.

If you've never seen The Vagina Monologues, here's your opportunity to finally go. And if you have seen it, come again to experience a whole new take on things with these original submissions.
