Vagina Monologues at 4th U
On Saturday, April 4, 2009: “The Vagina Monologues” is coming to the Fourth Universalist Society!
That’s right, Eve Ensler’s powerful, award winning play-that-has-become-a-movement will be presented right here at Fourth Universalist on April 4 at 8:00 p.m. and we’re looking for a passionate team of volunteers!
Organized by Deborah Roth, and directed by Nancy Robillard, we will join the hundreds of thousands of “Vagina Warriors” around the world who have launched productions in support of V-Day — a global movement to end violence against women and girls. In 2008, over 4000 V-Day benefit events took place produced by volunteer activists in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.
To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $60 million and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it, crafted international educational, media and Public Service Announcement campaigns, launched the Karama program in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 6000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Democratic Republic Of Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt and Iraq.
Women and men of all ages are invited to participate! If you would like to be involved, please download the application form and submit it by e-mail to Deborah Roth at dsrothny@aol.com, or give her the hard copy at church. Questions? Call Deborah at 212-665-9660.
