Vagina Monologues: El Paso, 2016
An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a transgender woman, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape and a feminist happy to have found a man who "liked to look at it." 100% of the proceeds will be donated to two local non-profits in El Paso that raise awareness of violence against women and sexual assault.
The annual V-Day El Paso production of the 'Vagina Monologues' celebrates 15 years in El Paso on February 26th -27th at the Hyatt Place Hotel (6030 Gateway Blvd East) and a special encore performance on February 28th at Tricky Falls (209 S. El Paso Street).

"The most exhilarating part is, no kidding, her extremely virtuosic way with a series of orgasmic moans Ensler, a writer-performer with a good-natured but seriously evangelical mission about this body part, must be enjoying her success in getting the word out on such a legendarily unmentionable, mythologized and misunderstood fact of life" NY Newsday
"Ensler breaks taboos by talking, talking and talking some more stripping fear and shame from what she celebrates here. It makes for quite a party. Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry THE VAGINA MONOLGOUES confront words to demystify and disarm them. In so doing, Ensler disarms the audience too." Associated Press
