Hosted by OPIRG Brock The Vagina Monologues is the evening performance of the Niagara Social Justice Forum 2010.
The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written by Eve Enlser. Ensler is a playwright, performer and activist who originally starred in the play at an off-Broadway theatre in Manhattan, New York in 1996. The Vagina Monologues has been staged internationally, translated into 45 languages and performed in over 130 countries.
In 1998, Ensler and others launched V-Day, a global non profit organization that has raised over $70 million for women’s groups through benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues. The Vagina Monologues is the cornerstone of the V-Day movement and performances take place worldwide each year between February 1 and April 30.
In 2004 Eve Ensler in conjunction with Jane Fonda and Deep Stealth Productions produced and directed the first all-transgender performance of The Vagina Monologues, with readings by eighteen notable trans women, and including a new monologue documenting the experiences of transwomen.
