Saturday, March 9, 1 – 3 p.m., HUC 412

The HUC is located at 1400 University Blvd. in the heart of UAB’s campus.

Those interested in volunteering or performing should check out the efforts fan page on Facebook for updates.

The Vagina Monologues is a play based on playwright – and V-Day founder – Eve Ensler’s interviews with more than 200 women. As the V-Day website explains:

“With humor and grace the piece celebrates women’s sexuality and strength. Through this play and the liberation of this one word, countless women throughout the world have taken control of their bodies and their lives. For more than 12 years, The Vagina Monologues has given voice to experiences and feelings not previously exposed in public.”
