October 18 for One Night Only
Event to Benefit ArtSpring and Women's Fund of Miami-Dade
Eve Ensler, renowned for her pioneering work The Vagina Monologues, will perform in Any One of Us: Words From Prison, Miami on Thursday, October 18, at Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, Miami. Any One of Us, Miami, which was conceived by Ensler,reveals the connection between women's incarceration and their history of abuse. ArtSpring and Women's Fund of Miami-Dade will present the benefit performance.
In New York Any One of Us wasperformed before a sold-out audience last summer at Lincoln Center. The Miami production will be staged and directed by FIU dance professor and ArtSpring founder and artistic director Leslie Neal using a script that is comprised entirely of writings by women serving time behind bars, featuring narratives by women in Miami-Dade and Broward prisons. Their experiences will come alive with readings by Ensler and a cast of Florida artists, advocates, and community leaders—including Dr. Laura Bedard, deputy secretary of the Florida Department of Corrections, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Katy Sorenson, television host Hunter Reno, and many others. Acclaimed songwriter and Carbonell Award nominee Amy Carol Webb will perform her original score, written especially for this occasion.
