VAGINA MONOLOGUES Play The Powerhouse Theater
Having just received a special citation from the LA Weekly for their original War Cycle trilogy, the Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble continues to shed a light on military con?ict with a special presentation of the Vagina Monologues bene?tting Fatigues Clothesline.
Fatigues Clothesline is a non-pro?t bringing both awareness and providing art therapy for survivors of military sexual trauma (MST) and their families.
The women of the Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble are joining forces with the international V-Day movement to bring you Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, a funny, provocative, and moving piece of theater aimed at raising awareness on issues of gender inequality and sexual violence.
Based on real interviews with hundreds of women, The Vagina Monologues has been shocking and inspiring audiences for over twelve years and has been hailed as "the most important piece of political theater of the last decade" by The New York Times. The Ensemble's production will be just one of over 5,400 V-Day events in over 140 countries around the globe during the 2011 V-Season (February through April), raising millions of dollars for local community organizations, dedicated to the single-minded goal of ending violence against women and girls. The Los Angeles Theatre Ensemble is dedicated to staging theater works of high artistic integrity while endeavoring to remain broadly accessible and genuinely entertaining.
The ensemble holds fast in its commitment to strike a balance between providing a venue for emerging artists and veteran artists; between the works of new playwrights, and revisiting timely and important classics.
The Powerhouse Theatre is housed, appropriately enough, in the Powerhouse, a historical building originally erected in 1910 for the Southern California Edison Electrical Plant for the city of Santa Monica. Committed to nurturing innovative new work, the Powerhouse has introduced
Los Angeles audiences to critically-acclaimed world premieres such as the multiple awardwinning The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World; the scathingly funny The Family Room by Aron Coleite; Golden Prospects: A Los Angeles Melodrama by Colin Campbell; and A Series of
Comedic Lectures with John Lehr.
Tickets start at $15. See www.latensemble.com for details.
The Powerhouse Theatre is located at 3116 2nd Street in south Santa Monica, just o" Main Street between Rose and Marine. Guests in wheelchairs should call in advance to make arrangements. For information, the public should visit www.latensemble.com.
