The Vagina Monologues   2004 Poster

Spring of 2004 TheaterCNU presented two benefit performances of Eve Ensler's award-winning play, The Vagina Monologues.  All proceeds benefited Transitions Family Violence Services, the domestic violence agency serving the Peninsula.

Eve Ensler's Obie-Award winning play has been translated into over 25 languages and is performed in theaters worldwide, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadway's Westside Theater and on London's West End. The play initiated V-Day, a global movement to stop violence against women and girls throughout the world. Through V-Day campaigns, local college students produce benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence organizations, such as Transitions Family Violence Services, within their own communities.  

Ms. Ensler has devoted her life to stopping violence against women. Her work grows out of her own personal experiences with violence. The play is based on Ensler's interviews with more than 200 women celebrating their sexuality and strength and exposing the violations that women endure throughout the world.
