This award-winning play is based on V-Day Founder and playwright Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. With humor and grace the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than twelve years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.  Several FM faculty and staff, along with members of the community, will be participating in the play. 

V-Day invites activists in colleges, communities, high schools or youth groups around the world to present select benefit events during and leading up to V-Season which is February 1 – April 30.  The purpose of these events is to raise awareness about violence against women and girls as well as to raise money for local beneficiaries that are working to end violence. 

On Saturday, February 11, there will be two showings of The Vagina Monologues; a matinee at 2:00 p.m. and an evening performance at 7:00 p.m.  Additionally, a silent art auction will take place.  Pieces may be viewed at the College that day and some pieces may be previewed on the event’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/VDayFM.  All proceeds from the performances and the art auction benefit The Family Counseling Center’s Domestic Violence Program of Fulton County and Montgomery County Domestic Violence and Crime Victim Services.

Tickets are available at FM’s Foundation Office and the Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce.  For further information, contact the Foundation Office at 736-FMCC (3622), ext. 8020 or V-Day at FM Coordinator Sonnet Gravina at ext. 8961.
