This Valentine's Weekend I performed in MIT's production of the Vagina Monologues . Essentially, the Vagina Monologues is a series of short theatrical pieces inspired by interviews a woman named Eve Ensler had with about 200 different women. She wrote the monologues to raise awareness in society about women's issues and in general to help people feel more open about discussing things like sex, periods, pregnancy, awkwardness, and the reality of violence towards women in our culture and around the world. It is performed every year across the nation on Valentine's Day ("V-Day") as fundraiser for programs that work to end violence against women and girls, including crisis centers and women's shelters. The MIT performances donated all the proceeds from the show to the Boston Area Rape Crisis Center.
I've attached a video of part of my monologue - it is titled "I Was There in the Room." This monologue is traditionally the last piece in the show, and it is written about Ms. Ensler's personal experience watching the birth of her grand daughter. Hope you enjoy it :)
