Photo Flash: V-Day Toronto's Production of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES

In support of the global movement to stop violence against women and girls, V-Day Toronto took to the stage with two productions: Eve Ensler's Obie-Award winning play 'The Vagina Monologues' which was performed on March 13 and 14, and 'A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant and A Prayer' which ran the following weekend on march 20 and 21. 

Below are photos from the production of 'The Vagina Monologues', as well as behind the scenes shots, courtesy of V-Day Toronto.

'The Vagina Monologues' is a smart, moving and hilarious look at female sexuality in all its facets. It inspired V-Day, a dynamic international grassroots movement with the goal of ending violence against women. V-Day is now active in 90 countries around the world. In a phenomenon that has swept the globe, the play has been translated and performed in 24 languages. Often imitated but never duplicated, Eve Ensler's masterpiece gives voice to women's deepest fantasties and fears through stories of intimacy, vulnerablity and sexual self-discovery.

Based on interviews with over 200 women about their memories and experiences of sexuality, Eve Ensler's masterpiece gives voice to women's deepest fantasies and fears, guaranteeing that no one who sees it will ever look at the female body, ponder the female mind, or think of womanhood in quite the same way again. 

All proceeds from both V-Day Toronto productions went to benefit Toronto-based charities, YWCA Toronto Shelters and METRAC (The Metro Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Children).
