Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” is based on her interviews with more than 200 women about love, sex and life. The results are humorous, sad and empowering combinations of monologues given by diverse women.

The WSU benefit production of “The Vagina Monologues” is a part of V-Day, a worldwide campaign to end violence against women. Last year, the show brought in more than $8,000 for groups working to prevent violence both locally and nationally.

Each year, the worldwide V-Day campaign spotlights a group of women who are experiencing violence and resisting it with strength and courage. The 2007 Spotlight group, “Women in Conflict Zones” is designed to help raise community awareness about the ongoing problems faced by these women.
