An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who "liked to look at it." The monologues will be performed by various local luminaries from the worlds of politics, theatre, non-profits and much more. Cast to include Elise Blanchard, Actor; Deb Hamilton, writer/performer; Ginger Leopoldo, Arts Educator with CIRCA Pintig; Amber Mandley, Managing Director, PrideArts; Loni T. Montreal, queer feminist Filipina writer, performer, educator and community activist; Ri Prasad, commercial realtor; Norissa Pearson, actor/musician/educator; Joli Angel Robinson, CEO of Center on Halsted; Marti Smith; speaker; Cheri Tatar, Board President PrideArts; and Rachel Warnick, Artistic Director of Stage Left.
