The 16th annual Vagina Monologues in South Lake Tahoe opened to a full house Friday at the Lake Tahoe Community College Duke Theater and there is one more chance to see this local performance.
Join the V-Day cast for an unforgettable evening in the sharing of prose, pain, love, laughter, and life. The cast is made up of community members, students, mothers, daughters, sisters, new-to-the-stage and seasoned performers. V-Day is a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls, by raising funds and awareness. Productions like this and other V-Day benefit events organized by volunteer activists take place around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.
The goal for 2018 is to create three $5,000 scholarships for female identified students at Lake Tahoe Community College. Scholarships will be awarded to those who demonstrate a seeking spirit, a fierce and compassionate nature, and to those who agree to give back by working to stop violence against women and girls.
The award-winning play The Vagina Monologues is based on V-Day Founder/playwright Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace, the production celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Over the last 20 years, through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives.
