Lost Nation Theater concludes WINTERFEST’08 with Eve Ensler’s powerful, poignant & often hilarious collection of stories. Back by popular demand, The Vagina Monologues benefits Battered Women’s Services.
Eve Ensler’s hilarious, eye-opening journey into the forbidden zone gives voice to a chorus of lusty, outrageous, poignant, and thoroughly human stories. With laughter and compassion, Ensler transports us to a world we’ve never dared to know.
Come to The Vagina Monologues and discover for yourself the celebratory, conspiratorial, energetic spirit of the show which induces audiences to hoot & holler & cheer, and led the AP to describe the show as “quite a party!” Join our party! Lost Nation’s production as directed by Alex Brown will present a high-energy, yet intimate, comfortable conversation between actors & audience — a show as welcoming and fun for men as it is for women.
The Vagina Monologues introduces a wildly divergent gathering of women, including: a six-year-old girl, a septuagenarian New Yorker, a woman who witnesses the birth of her granddaughter, a Bosnian survivor of rape, and a woman who found a man who “liked to look at it.”
Spend a very special evening in the company of actors Emme Erdossy, Kathleen Keenan, Amanda Menard, Maura O’Brien, Elizabeth Wilcox and Maggie York.
“Spellbinding, funny, and almost unbearably moving.” – Variety
“Ensler punctuates the monologues hilariously, eliciting roars from the audience.” –New York Times
“Ensler breaks taboos by talking, and talking some more …. It makes for quite a party. Funny, outrageous, emotionally affecting, and occasionally angry The Vagina Monologues confronts words to demystify and disarm them. In so doing, Ensler disarms the audience.” - The Associated Press
