And, please I do not want ridiculous answers. This is actually an off-broadway hit theatrical. I'm trying out for the play at my school (a college version of it) and am very excited about it, I might have a monologue to myself! Anyway, this is play is bascially not about vaginas but the "vagina" is metaphorically used to describe the celebration of womanhood, embracing ourselves as unique individuals, and causing an awareness to stop violence against women.

I've seen the play three times - once in NY - once a college production - and once a production staged with transsexuals.
Each time it was a moving piece of theatre - challenging, sorrowful, joyful and engaging.
Good luck - if you get a role, you will find it rewarding, I'm sure!

It's performed at the college I go to every winter as part of the V-Day campaign. I've seen it 6 or 7 times since I've been here (they switch up which monologues are performed each night, so I usually try to go at least twice) and I'll be going again this February! It really is a fantastic show. I hope it goes well for you and all the amazing, beautiful, intelligent, strong women (and vaginas!) you'll be working with! ^_^

All hail the vagina!
This is an exceptionally empowering piece by, for and about women. It is also extremely funny, and there are some more touching moments as well.
All in all, I believe it is a piece that encourages women to take back the power of words, and use them to empower themselves to really be complete women.
Yes, some of the language may be considered vulgar, but no more vulgar than anything you might see on television or in the movies. Besides, that's the point.
Good luck with the audition, you've clearly done your homework on the show.
PS: Steven W - I also read "Women who run with Wolves" and would STRONGLY encourage ALL woman to read it. It is mind-blowing.

While I think it's inappropriate for a school to take on, it is a fantastic piece of work, not at all vulgar, and actually some segements of it are, or can be enlightening to the male gender.
Thankfully you GET IT with regard to the metaphor, smiles.
Ah Ok, I just read "College Version", so then I approve,,, :)

I have a suggestion for you and any who happen to wander in. A BOOK, suggested and sent by my Angel, "Women Who Run With Wolves" One of the most impactful reads I've ever experienced.

No, Vagina isn't a bad notice. that's a factor of the female anatomy. even with the undeniable fact that, there's a time and a place to communicate all issues. they could have edited the notice no longer plenty that it somewhat is shameful... yet to furnish dad and mom and childrens who could desire that communicate left as much as them no longer the media. The relatives channel in spite of each and every thing is conscious that youthful babies are apt to invite questions and this will not be the age ideal point wherein they could understand. Use of the notice could reason this interest to reach in develop. even with the undeniable fact that, if any dad and mom are analyzing thins i could prefer to characteristic. in the experience that your infant is on the line to self discovery merely clarify this to pals and relatives. even with the undeniable fact that, you prefer to inspire them to apply those words while its approriate and with out shame. mom's and Dads can tell their little women the right age to understand; it somewhat is mandatory to love and admire your vagina that's a factor of your sacred temple. it somewhat is what makes you a female and diverse from a guy. save it clean and secure from people who could do it harm. So, admire my Vagina from one sister to a various!

Well, I'm a guy so I really don't celebrate womanhood, but I'm not for violence against women. If you didn't laugh at the name and you really know what it means, I would try out for the play...u have good sense.

I like the fact it helps the victims of domestic violence but some of the "monologues" are kind of weird.

So, relax, good luck and remember, It's all about reclamation!!!
