The Vagina Monologues will be held this year on February 12, 14 and 15 in Sarratt Cinema. The Monologues is a play by Eve Ensler as primary benefit performance for VDay, a global movement to end violence against women. The Vanderbilt performance will be benefiting the Project Safe Violence Against Women Hardship Fund, helping survivors that need health and legal assistance.

"The Vagina Monologues are a collection of monologues that are both poignant and humorous stories of women's experiences throughout their lifetime," said Kacy Silverstein, co-director of Project Safe. There are 17 students, faculty and staff involved in this year's performance. The spotlight monologue involves the atrocities committed against women in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The performances are at 7 p.m. on February 12, 14 and 15. There will also be VDay fair beginning at 6:30 p.m. before each performance in the Sarratt gallery. Vanderbilt and community groups will be there with information, resources and merchandise involving violence against women. Tickets are $15 and available through Ticketmaster and in Sarratt on the card.
