Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting and occasionally angry ...
Eve Ensler's wildly popular series of monologues about women and performed by women is back for the fourteenth year with the Roxy Regional Theatre's presentation of THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES, January 15 - January 30.
Returning favorites Emily Rourke (whom audiences will remember as Ivy in
Leonard Bernstein's On the Town) and
Jackie Ostick (who was most recently seen as Widow Corney in the Roxy's 33rd season opener,
Lionel Bart's Oliver!) will take the stage of the Roxy's theotherspace alongside newcomer Mariah Sade Ralph (straight off a stint in Busch Gardens holiday production, Christmas Town) in readings of these monologues based on interviews
Eve Ensler conducted with 200 women about their views on sex, relationships, and violence against women.
An Obie Award-winning whirlwind tour of a forbidden zone, THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES introduces a wildly divergent gathering of female voices, including a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a vagina workshop participant, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a feminist happy to have found a man who "liked to look at it."
THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES is presented in theotherspace, the 50-seat black-box theatre located upstairs at the Roxy, and runs January 15 through January 30, playing Thursdays at 7:00pm and Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $15 and may be purchased online at
www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at
(931) 645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to curtain).
