Cast auditions for ‘The Vagina Monologues’ set for Nov. 6-7

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Cast auditions for the spring 2008 performance of “The Vagina Monologues” will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 6 and 7 in the Memorial Student Center on the Huntington campus. The spring performance is scheduled Feb. 15 and 16, 2008.

Auditions will take place in room 2W22 on Nov. 6 and in room 2W16 on Nov. 7. Women of all backgrounds are invited to audition. No acting experience is required and monologues will be provided.

The benefit production of “The Vagina Monologues” is a college campaign that empowers women to find their collective voice and demand an end to the epidemic levels of violence and abuse on their campuses, in their communities and around the world. The proceeds from these events are donated directly to local organizations in the community that are working to stop violence.

The Marshall University Women’s Center and the MU Women’s Studies Program are sponsoring the production.

“Nationally this is the 10^th anniversary of the V-Day college campaign and our sixth year doing this powerful event,” said Leah Tolliver, Marshall University Women’s Center director. “We are looking forward to another outstanding response from Marshall and our surrounding community.”
