The Vagina Monologues are back to celebrate their 10 Year Anniversary!

Ten years young, the Vagina Monologues return to Calgary for another stellar 3-night long engagement. Marsha Ellen Meidow has been involved in organizing Calgary's Vagina Monologues since the inception. Every year brings a different experience as new volunteers take on the roles of women telling stories about sexuality, violence, embarrassment and discovery related to women and, of course, their vaginas.

This year's edition includes a special addition by a local femme who has prepared her own piece for the night. There will also be an interpretive dance of My Vagina Was My Village and many more surprises and treats for you, your vagina and your friends including three beautiful chair and ottoman sets (donated by Urban Barn) to be auctioned off at the end of each show.

Eve Ensler wrote the play, The Vagina Monologues, in 1996. It is now available in over 45 different languages and has been performed in over 119 countries. The play is both powerful and funny, thought-provoking and motivating. Ensler's recognition includes Obie Award for Best New Play (1996), the Guggenheim Fellowship Award in Playwriting (1999), the Berrilla-Kerr Award for Playwriting, the Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Solo Performance and the Jury Award for Theater at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival. Her play has touched the lives of many in the world and if you haven't seen the Vagina Monologues yet, this weekend brings your chance.

All the money raised supports Calgary's YWCA Safe Haven Program: Getting young girls off the streets and back into their lives.
