APPLETON, WIS. — V-Day Lawrence University is once again helping to stop violence against women and girls with its production of Eve Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues. Performances of The Vagina Monologues take place at 3:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. Saturday, February 24 and at 8:00 p.m. Sunday, February 25 in Cloak Theatre.

Directing V-Day Lawrence University’s sixth production of The Vagina Monologues is David Hanzal ’08. New for the 2007 performance at Lawrence is local folk/pop group, Love, Claire, who will be playing throughout each performance.
The Vagina Monologues has been performed in cities all across the nation and at hundreds of college campuses. It has inspired a dynamic grassroots movement–V-Day–to stop violence against women and girls. In 2007, over 2,000 V-Day benefits will take place in over 950 communities and on college campuses around the world. Money raised during show at Lawrence will be donated to local, national, and international charities.
Ensler’s The Vagina Monologues has been translated into over 45 languages and is running in theatres all over the world, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadway’s Westside Theater and on London’s West End. The Vagina Monologues is based on Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women, which with humor and grace celebrates women’s sexuality and strength.
