Lees-McRae Presents The Vagina Monologues February 17
On Wednesday, February 17, Lees-McRae College students, faculty, staff and alumni will present Eve Ensler’s play The Vagina Monologues at 7:00 p.m. in Evans Auditorium on the campus in Banner Elk.
Tickets are $12 for general admission and $5 for students with an ID.
The Vagina Monologues is an award-winning play based on Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. With both humor and grace, the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength.
Through this play and the liberation of the word it celebrates, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives, according to a Lees-McRae College press release. For more than 12 years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public, the release said.
Proceeds from the performance, presented by the Lees-McRae offices of Community Outreach and Campus Life, will benefit Avery Citizens Against Domestic Abuse. A free reception with refreshments will precede the play from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. in the King-Shivell Gallery in the Cannon Student Center.
The performance of The Vagina Monologues is open to the public and is intended for mature audiences only. For tickets or more information, contact Selena Hilemon at hilemons@lmc.edu or 828-898-3318.
