Sold-out V-Day show adds performance

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — The Friday, February 5 show of “The Vagina Monologues” has been sold out. An additional performance has been added on Sunday, February 7 at 2 p.m. at the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, 37 Main St.

“The Vagina Monologues” was written be Eve Ensler in 1996 after she interviewed 200 women about their views on sex, relationships and violence against women, and is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Performers for the event are Janet Burgan, Beverly Dally, Wendy Kaufman, Cathleen Lathrop and Kyoshin Lohr. Burgan, organizer and director of the performance, first acted in “The Vagina Monologues” last year at SUNY Sullivan. She says she was happy for the opportunity to be on stage to speak about women and share their real life stories and innermost feelings about their bodies and sexuality.

“As I took stock of the audience, I realized that SUNY Sullivan, located in Loch Sheldrake, was pretty far for people from Wayne County and western Sullivan County to travel to on a cold and dark winter’s night,” Burgan said. She then made the decision to try to bring the performance closer to the Honesdale area.

All of the proceeds from the performance benefit the Victims’ Intervention Program (www.vipempowers.org) in Honesdale, PA, a rape crisis/domestic violence center. Tickets cost $10. Reservations can be made by calling 845/252-7576. Visit the V-Day 2016 Narrowsburg Facebook event page.
