A different V-Day

This year I've taken on a new adventure, I've become part of the V-Day Campaign and by doing so I'm producing a reading of "The Vagina Monologues" on campus as a part of the V-Day season.  V-Day is a campaign to end violence against women.  The V in V-Day stands for Violence, Vagina, and Valentine's (because the V-Day season starts in February and ends in March) and as a part of the campaign they give the rights to several show to V-Day Organizers for Free as long as they (we) promise to follow a set of rules and we donate all the profits to a local beneficiary.

Our production stars eleven beautiful woman from all parts of campus, we have 3 of the 4 sororities represented as well as independents and 3 bloggers!  We have women from all sorts of different backgrounds and comfort levels in talking about vaginas. I'm excited to be able to bring this to campus and bring a new learning experience to the community. The shows are this Thursday and Friday at 7:30 in Back Cafe (in Forrer Hall) on campus and our local beneficiary, The Bluegrasss Rape Crisis Center, will be there both nights with information on what they do for our community.
