Sacramento State’s University Union UNIQUE Programs, Student Health & Counseling Services, and Active Minds are pleased to announce The Vagina Monologues at the Sacramento State University Union Ballroom at 7:30 pm on Thursday, February 9, 2012.

Eve Ensler, a playwright and feminist, wrote The Vagina Monologues. The monologues are a compilation of Ensler’s interviews with hundreds of women on their views and experiences of sex, relationships, and violence and cover issues of intimacy, vulnerability, and sexual self-discovery. Sac State’s production will include only student actresses reciting the dialogues. The Vagina Monologues are part of V-Day, a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls.

The monologues are performed nationwide only during the months of February and March and the proceeds typically go to programs that work to end violence against women and girls. The proceeds from this 10th annual Sac State stage production will go to two organizations- My Sister’s House and the SHARE Institute. My Sister’s House is an organization that addresses the needs of Asian and Pacific Islander women and children impacted by domestic violence. The SHARE Institute’s mission is to establish collaborative relationships that foster the well-being and empowerment of individuals, organizations, and communities.

The Vagina Monologues will be performed at Sacramento State’s University Union Ballroom on Thursday, February 9 at 7:30 pm. Admission is $5 for Sac State students and $10 for the general public, available at Tickets.com or the Sac State Box Office.
