VIDEO: Eve Ensler's THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES Performed For Male Inmates at Queensboro Correctional Facility

"Today is the big day," actor, producer and feminist Elizabeth Mackintosh posted on her Facebook page on the morning of this past April 21st.

As co-founder and co-executive director of Mightee Shero Productions, a social enterprise committed to telling the stories of women and girls, and providing an artistic platform for effecting change, she and her colleagues were about to perform Eve Ensler's THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, one of the most influential theatre pieces to come out of the 20th Century, for an audience of men serving time at the Queensboro Correctional Facility.

With a company comprised of formerly incarcerated women, social activists and professional actors (including SPRING AWAKENING's Ali Stroker and Lin Tucci from "Orange Is the New Black"), director Ira Kip's production had previously been performed for women serving time at Taconic Correctional Facility and male residents undergoing substance abuse rehabilitation at the Edgecombe Residential Treatment Facility.

The Queensboro Facility is a minimum security prison acting as a re-entry center for male inmates. The performance of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES serves as one of their many programs to help inmates in their transition into rejoining society as productive members.

The inspiring video shows glimpses of the performance, with reactions from both the artists and the audience members. Visit mighteeshero.com
