Free “Vagina Monologues” at PCC West

by on Mar. 26, 2012, under Arts, Life, Politics

Free performance of this show in celebration of Women’s “Herstory” Month, at 7 p.m. on March 29, at Pima Community College Proscenium Theater. Sponsored by the West Campus Student Life Office.

More background on this 1996 Vagina Monologues episodic play by Eve Ensler click here.

I know those of you who haven’t seen this show are wondering how can monologues about vaginas and womanhood be funny, but believe me, it is. I saw this show back in Hawaii years ago, and it was creative and entertaining…even for men. I’m taking my husband to see it, but then — he writes and lectures about women & sexuality in the Middle Ages (click here for his talk tonight at Himmel Branch Library).

    These monologues tonight for free!

    Powerful performances by 12 women PCC students/staff & faculty about “different perspectives of the vagina”, which were mostly funny & satirical, but also dealt with the horrors of rape & genital mutilation.  Particularly poignant was the monologue “The Woman who Liked to Make Vaginas Happy”, which drew strong applause, as did “Because He liked to look at it.” Almost full audience tonight at the Proscenium Theater at PCC, with lots of men in attendance.

    I saw this play a few years ago at The Fox Theater downtown. It was quite powerful, poignant, and hysterically funny.

      Thanks Karyn. My husband enjoyed the show a lot, as did another male friend who said it was “liberating” for him to hear the monologues.  There was also one performance “I Was There in the Room” about the importance of the vagina in child birth, which is how most of us got here.

        I was going to say that is how all of us got here but then I remmebered C-sections (how could I forget since that is how our daughter arrived!).  Last night was the second time I’ve seen the monologues and thaough it was as well done as the first time with “professional” actresses.
