Auditions for “The Vagina Monologues”

Auditions for The Vagina Monologues

The Vagina Monologues is an episodic play written by activist and feminist Eve Ensler. The title of the play is literal – it introduces various female performers who recite vulvic-centric stories about issues of sexuality such as; childbirth, masochism, sexual assault, genital mutilation, and masturbation. The script is honest and describes the immediate experience of women who have had violence inflicted upon them. The monologues have been delivered by celebrities and college students alike, and Mesa College is hosting one of its very own cold readings.

On Thursday, March 1st, anyone is welcome to audition for the Vagina Monologues at the Apolliad Theatre or C100 at 5 p.m on campus. The auditions consist of a cold reading of the script, and no appointment is needed, solely be prepared to read the script in both English and Spanish.

All proceeds from the play will be donated to non-profit organizations that aim to end violence and exploitation of women across the globe. There will be approximately 3-5 rehearsals scheduled to meet during weekday evenings and perhaps one weekend day. All participants who audition must volunteer their time and craft. For more information contact George Ye at gye@sdccd.edu.
