A couple of quick notes.
- The parking lot and entrance is located off of 1st Street, so you'll turn off of Roosevelt heading north on 1st Street, and the parking lot and building is on the west side of the street. Look for the red balloons!
- All attendees must be 21+ unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian as we'll be serving beer & wine. This will be a CASH bar, so please bring both cash + your ID if you plan to drink.
We love you, and Happy VDay!
xoxo

What in the F?!?
The Trump Administration Quietly Changed the Definition of Domestic Violence and We Have No Idea What For It is too early to assess the full impact of the change.
Eeeee!!! As I’ve produced The Va**na Monologues four times, I thought it would be a good idea to try something new... Thrilled to share I’ve been approved to hold a production of A Memory, A Monologue, A Rant, and a Prayer (MMRP) for the 2019 VDay Season! I (Stacey Champion) will be producing/directing with assistance from my right hand goddess Lindsay Robinson, and the fabulous V-Sister Arana Wolin will be our Hot Mama Stage Manager.
Especially excited that the spotlight this season is on incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women, so our main beneficiary is going to be Reinventing Reentry, founded by the fabulous Sue Ellen Allen. I have some additional ideas up my sleeve as well...😉
I’ll be setting up an audition event tomorrow, but save the date of Saturday, December 8 from 12-4p if you’re interested. ❤️ Productions to take place over VDay 2019 (Thurs., Fri., Sat.).
About MMRP:
A groundbreaking collection of monologues by world-renowned authors and playwrights, edited by Eve Ensler and Mollie Doyle. These diverse voices rise up in a collective roar to break open, expose, and examine the insidiousness of violence at all levels: brutality, neglect, a punch, even a put-down. The volume features such authors and topics as: Edward Albee on S*M; Maya Angelou on women's work; Michael Cunningham on self-mutilation; Dave Eggers on a Sudanese abduction; Edwidge Danticat on a border crossing; Carol Gilligan on a daughter witnessing her mother being hit; Susan Miller on raising a son as a single mother; Sharon Olds on a bra; Patricia Bosworth on her own physically abusive relationship; Jane Fonda on reclaiming our Mojo; and many more.
Stay tuned for an exciting VDAY 2019 update...
