- Feb 287:00 PMVagina MonologuesWritten 27 years ago, The Vagina Monologues is based on writer V’s (formerly Eve Ensler) “Vagina Interviews” conducted with 200 women all around the world. The play is a compilation of monologues performed by various women that address the issues of violence against women, rape, domestic violence, and genital mutilation. The play is unorthodox and at times shocking.All proceeds will benefit the Women’s Center and the Gender and Sexuality Center. Your support will help these centers continue their critical work in fostering a community focused on gender equity, free from violence and oppression. Their core values include creating a campus culture where all individuals feel valued and safe and contributing to an environment where everyone is empowered to embrace and express their authentic selves.The Vagina Monologues contains references to sexual assault and violence, sexually explicit material, and language that could be offensive to some.

- Feb 287:30 PMBakkhai by EuripidesA stunning, new translation of Euripides' play by a poet and classicist Anne Carson. Carson writes, "Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration."
