Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues to benefit Open Arms


The University of Findlay’s Alpha Psi Omega, an honorary theatre fraternity, have teamed up with UNITED to present three productions of The Vagina Monologues, March 19 - March 21, 2010.

This controversial work, created and originally performed by Eve Ensler, debuted off-off-Broadway in 1996 and soon rode a wave of national acclaim. Now, the intimacy of Ensler's original show has been lovingly brought to the screen and theater's nationwide. The productions of The Vagina Monologues raise funds and awareness in an effort to end violence against women and girls. The event beneficiary for the 2010 celebration will be Open Arms Domestic Violence & Rape Crisis Services.
