UNC Asheville Hosts Performance of "The Vagina Monologues;"
Proceeds to Benefit Our Voice
UNC Asheville's Feminist Collective student group will host a
performance of the award-winning play "The Vagina Monologues" at 8 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 4, and at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 5, in UNC
Asheville's Humanities Lecture Hall. Tickets are $10 general admission
and $5 students and senior citizens. All proceeds will benefit Our
Voice, an organization that advocates for the compassionate and fair
treatment of sexually assaulted persons.
UNC Asheville's third annual production, featuring a cast of students
and faculty, is staged in cooperation with the V-Day 2005 College
Campaign. This annual campaign allows communities to produce the show
royalty-free to raise money for groups working to stop violence against
women.
Eve Ensler's "The Vagina Monologues" gives voice to a chorus of
poignant, brave, highly original and thoroughly human stories. Based on
interviews with a diverse group of women -- from a Long Island antique
dealer to a Bosnian refugee -- the play explores the humor, pain,
wisdom, mystery and excitement of women's bodies.
This Obie Award-winning play has been called "a bona fide phenomenon" by
the New York Times and "a work of art and a piece of cultural history"
by Variety.
