JANUARY 21, 2015 [NORWALK, CT]: V-Day Norwalk 2015 announces auditions for THE VAGINA MONOLOGUES by Eve Ensler

February 1st 11am-1pm

February 2nd 7pm-9pm

Auditioners should come prepared to read an excerpt from The Vagina Monologues and with an expressed interest in being a part of the V-Day campaign, an ongoing global movement working to end violence against women and girls. Copies of individual monologues will be provided. No prior acting experience is necessary for this ALL FEMALE cast. All auditioners are required to be available for Sunday evening rehearsals; those who are not won’t be considered. This production is non-union, no pay.

The production will be performed April 17-19, at The Carriage House Arts Center in Norwalk’s Cranbury Park.

Last year, V-Day Norwalk raised a total of $4886 as part of V-Day. Approximately $4397 from ticket sales and private donations went to The Center for Sexual Assault Crisis Counseling and Education, an organization that offers counseling, advocacy and education services for lower Fairfield County. $488 was donated to the V-Day Spotlight Campaign, which focuses on eliminating violence against women and girls.

In 2012, over 5,800 V-Day benefit productions were held around the world raising funds and educating millions of people on the realities of violence against women and girls. To date, the V-Day campaign has raised over $90 million, in addition to developing international educational, media and PSA campaigns, re-opening shelters, and donating funds to thousands of community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses.

This year, Norwalk will join this global effort for the fourth time as part of the V‑Day 2015 Community Campaign. All proceeds from the Norwalk performances will go directly toward the efforts of V-Day.

Men are encouraged to be a part of the campaign offstage.
