This exciting event is put on by local Nevada Union High School student, Sierra Raskie Jeska, for their senior project.
Thirteen wonderful people from Nevada County, Sacramento and Chico will take the stage to discuss and represent people with vaginas from all over the world. All ages and backgrounds are welcome to come and watch join the empowered, multigenerational, performers: Nicole Buckoski, Sierra Raskie Jeska, Xochitl Husted, Anya Cooper-Hynell, Pavana Bohegian , Sophia Lehmer-Peasley, Abby Cerino, Sara Raskie, Cynthia Meilicke, Anna Lee, Bridget Barsotti, and Alyssa Yonenaka.
This production is a part of V-DAY, a worldwide organization dedicated to ending violence toward girls and women across the globe. It is a fundraiser and 90% of proceeds go to our local domestic violence and sexual assault association, Communities Beyond Violence, and 10% will go to VDAYs spotlight campaign: The Resistance. Food and drinks available for purchase.
I first saw the Vagina Monologues twelve years ago with my dorm roommate as a college freshman in Pennsylvania and knew then I wanted to be in it one day. Life separated us and brought us back together years later in Northern California where I was invited to participate in TVM 2018: Nevada County. I feel that this production is a testament to the power, strength, pain, endurance, beauty and vulnerability of womanhood. says Nicole Buckoski, one of the performers.
I am speaking out of my deep love and gratitude for my granddaughter, our producer Sierra Raskie-Jeska, and her mother Sara Raskie. said performer and Grandmother, Cynthia Meilicke. I speak in honor and in awe of generations of women - for our collective power, strength, vulnerability, and compassion!
