Vagina Monologues Performed at RIT, Feb. 10 and 11

The RIT Women’s Center presents its annual production of The Vagina Monologues, performed simultaneously in American Sign Language and English on Feb. 10 and 11.

The 8 p.m. performances are in Ingle Auditorium, Student Alumni Union. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets—$5 for students, $8 for faculty and staff and $10 general admission—are available at the Women’s Center (room A450) located in the SAU.

All proceeds from the show go to support the RIT CARES program (Campus advocacy, response and support), a comprehensive program for victims of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking.

The Vagina Monologues celebrates V-Day—a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. V-Day promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. Through V-Day campaigns, local volunteers and college students produce annual benefit performances of The Vagina Monologues to raise awareness and funds for anti-violence groups within their own communities. In its first year of incorporation (2001), V-Day was named one of Worth Magazine’s “100 Best Charities.” In seven years, the V-Day movement has raised more than $25 million.

V-Day at RIT is the only production in the country that performs this play simultaneously in two languages.
