Women and Girls.

Albany Barn.

*Auditions will be held on Tuesday, January 16th at 7pm at the Albany
Barn.  Please come prepared to read an excerpt from the script (scripts
will be provided) OR to share a antidote no longer than 2 minutes in
length.  *

All women and non-binary individuals are invited to audition and bring in
their individual identities and experiences to their performance;
participation does not involve vagina-essentialism, but a connection to the
themes and narratives expressed in the play.

scenes?  Let us know!

Over the past two decades, tens of thousands of communities and college
campuses have staged V-Day benefit performances of *The Vagina Monologues*
– and other artistic works, campaigns & Risings– in over 200 countries and
territories. V-Day activists have raised consciousness, changed laws to
protect women and girls, funded rape crisis centers and domestic violence
shelters (often times these much needed funds kept them from closing),
educated their communities, and raised well over $100 million in urgently
needed funds for groups doing the essential work of ending violence and
serving survivors and their families.

For its 20th anniversary, V-Day is calling on activists around the world to
Rise, Resist and Unite. Welcome to V-Season 2018.

*What are The Vagina Monologues*

The New York Times called *The Vagina Monologues*, “probably the *most
important piece of political theater of* the last decade.” The play – first
performed Off-Broadway and in locations around the world by Ms. Ensler –
dives into the mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement
in women’s experiences.  *V–Day* grew out of the play which exploded onto
the scene in 1998, breaking taboos about women’s sexuality and shattering
silence around violence done to women and girls.
