V-DAY Las Vegas 2017 Presents A Benefit Reading of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

Join Us as we LISTEN! ACT! and RISE! to Demand Revolutionary Change for Women and Girl Survivors of Violence

On February 4, 2017, at 7:00 p.m., V-Day Las Vegas will present a one-night only benefit reading of Eve Ensler’s award winning play The Vagina Monologues at The Summerlin Library Performing Arts Center, 1771 Inner Circle Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89134. All proceeds benefit Refuge for Women Las Vegas, an aftercare program for the trafficked and sexually exploited.

Last year over 5,800 V-Day benefits were held around the world raising funds and awareness towards ending violence against women. These highly successful events raised over $5 million through performances of The Vagina Monologues as part of the V-Day 2016 College and Community Campaigns.

This special benefit performance is presented this year as part of V-Day’s campaign ONE BILLION RISING: REVOLUTION, a global initiative that began three years ago as a call for women survivors of violence to Rise and demand an end to violence. In 2016, Risings will focus on highlighting, creating and envisioning new, brave and radical artistic initiatives to bring in the new revolutionary world of equality, dignity and freedom for all women and girls.

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 Summerlin Library Performing Arts Center at 1771 Inner Circle Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89134 on Saturday, February 4 at 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 or $15 with student I.D. and may be purchased online or at the door.
