PULLMAN, Wash. V-Day Washington State University is searching for dedicated and passionate volunteers to make a difference in their community by producing the seventh annual benefit production of “The Vagina Monologues.”
“The Vagina Monologues” is an award-winning play written by Eve Ensler. This play is not only educational, discussing the topics of sexuality and life, but also promotes action and awareness for ending violence against women and girls. Students, teachers, faculty and community members are welcome to become a part of the team for the seventh WSU benefit production.
After the play became successful at a national level, Ensler formed a foundation to stop violence against women and girls. This global organization, known as V-Day, enlists college groups and other organizations to hold benefit productions of “The Vagina Monologues” to raise funds.
Money earned through this production is donated to local organizations in their communities that are working to end violence against women and girls. V-Day WSU has produced a benefit production for the past six years and in that time has raised $39,400, with 90% of the donations staying local.
“This is a great chance to get to know people, work in a team environment, and give back to our community,” said Nichole Olson, V-Day graduate assistant. From helping to hold auditions, running rehearsals and facilitating play performances, this is a well-rounded opportunity for everyone to share in an important global movement.
The first production team meeting is at 4 p.m. Sept. 16 in Compton Union Building (CUB) 310. For more information about the V-Day WSU benefit production, please contact Nichole Olson at 335-7472 or vdaywsu@wsu.edu.
