ATHENS EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES (30-01-2012 9:00 pm) Every Thursday of this Month, the Variete of the Badminton Theater will showcase with humor and sensitivity the monologues regarding the sexual power of women.
The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written by Eve Ensler which ran at the Off Broadway Westside Theatre after a limited run at AFRICA in 1996. Ensler originally starred in the production which was produced by David Stone, Nina Essman, Dan Markley, The Araca Group, Willa Shalit, Mike Skipper and the West Side Theater. When she left the play it was recast with three celebrity monologists. The production has been staged internationally, and a television version featuring Ensler was produced by cable TV channel HBO. In 1998, Ensler and others, including Willa Shalit, a producer of the Westside Theatre production, launched V-Day, a global non-profit movement that has raised over $75 million for women's anti-violence groups through benefits of The Vagina Monologues.
Doors open at 21:00.
Entrance:
General 15 Euros
Students 10 Euros.
