ImageAurora, New York - In honor of V-Day, a grassroots movement to end violence against women, Wells College and several other New York schools will be presenting "The Vagina Monoloques" on their respective campuses this month. The Wells event will take place on Saturday, February 24 and Sunday, February 25 at 7:00 pm in the Sommer Center, Smith Hall. Tickets are available at the door and cost $3 for students and $5 for general admission. A reception will follow with an opportunity to meet the student actors.

Based on interviews with more than 200 women, Eve Ensler's Obie-winning play "The Vagina Monologues" takes an intimate look at women's memories and experiences of sexuality and their deepest fantasies and fears. "The Vagina Monologues" has been performed at cities across the country and on hundreds of college campuses. It has inspired V-Day, the dynamic nationwide grassroots movement to stop violence against women. The play is a celebration of female sexuality in all its complexity and mystery.

More than 20 Wells students make up the cast and crew of this performance of "The Vagina Monologues" at Wells. Natalie Kemper, class of 2010 from Manchester, Tenn., directs the production.

This event is part of the V-Day Foundation's College Campaign, which invites members of college and university communities around the world to present benefit productions of "The Vagina Monologues" on their campuses to raise awareness about violence issues and to raise money for local beneficiaries that are working to end violence against women and girls. All proceeds from Wells ticket and novelty sales will go to the V-Day Foundation. Observed every February 14 for the past nine years, V-Day has raised over $30 million to date.

This performance contains adult content and is not suitable for young audiences. Sponsored by the Wells Women's Resource Center and Collegiate.
