VDAY 2020 - The Vagina Monologues
V-Day Indianapolis 2020
Presents a Benefit Reading of
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES
Join Us as we RAISE THE VIBRATION to Demand Revolutionary Change for Survivors of Gender-Based Violence
On February 13-15, 2020, V-Day Indianapolis will present a three-night only benefit reading of Eve Ensler's award winning play The Vagina Monologues at The Church Within in Fountain Square. Net proceeds go to local groups in that community working to end gender-based violence. This year, proceeds will benefit Trinity Haven (www.trinityhavenindy.org).
ABOUT V-DAY
Our work is grounded in 4 core beliefs:
Art has the power to transform consciousness and inspire people to act
Lasting social and cultural change is spread by ordinary people doing extraordinary things
Local women best know what their communities need and can become unstoppable leaders
One must look at the intersection of race, class, and gender to understand violence against women
What are The Vagina Monologues?
Hailed by The New York Times as "funny" and "poignant" and by the Daily News as "intelligent" and "courageous," The Vagina Monologues, which was first performed off-Broadway by Ms. Ensler, dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women's experiences. Ms. Ensler has performed the play to great acclaim throughout the world - from Zagreb to Santa Barbara, from London to Seattle, from Jerusalem to Oklahoma City. Villard Books/Random House first published The Vagina Monologues, which includes a foreword by Gloria Steinem, in February 1998. A special edition was released in hard cover and paperback in February 2008 in honor of V-Day's ten year anniversary.
The Vagina Monologues will be performed at The Church Within, 1125 Spruce Street. Tickets are $18 general admission; $13 for students/seniors and may be purchased via Brown Paper Tickets.
In 2020, staging a production of The Vagina Monologues is more than just a theatrical experience; it is an ARTISTIC UPRISING, a RADICAL act, an ACT OF RESISTANCE.
What is a V-Day Campaign?
A V-Day Campaign is a catalyst for mobilizing women and men to heighten awareness about violence against women and girls. By creating this global community, V-Day strives to empower women to find their collective voices and demand an end to the violence that affects one in three women in the U.S and around the world.
V-Day Indianapolis is a local effort within the worldwide context of the 2020 V-Day Campaign.
*Women and girls is an inclusive term reflecting ALL those who were assigned and/or identify as female, including cisgender, transgender and non-binary folx subject to gender-based violence.
