Frostburg State University will present Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, March 10, and Thursday, March 11, at the Pealer Recital Hall in the Performing Arts Center.  The Vagina Fair will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 PM, which includes the V-Day Scarf Sale, as well as displays from groups such as the Family Crisis Resource Center.  The event is part of V-Day, a global campaign to end violence against women and girls.

“The Vagina Monologues” dives into a range of emotions buried in real women’s experiences.  All proceeds will benefit the Family Crisis Resource Center in Cumberland, the Dove Center of Garrett County, and the Women of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this year’s V-Day spotlight.

In 2009, over 4,200 V-Day benefit events produced by volunteer activists took place in the U.S. and around the world, educating millions of people about the reality of violence against women and girls.  To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $70 million, including nearly $40,000 locally, and educated millions about the issue of violence against women and the efforts to end it; crafted international educational, media and PSA campaigns; launched the Karama program in the Middle East; reopened shelters; and funded over 11,000 community-based antiviolence programs and safe houses in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Kenya, South Dakota, Egypt, and Iraq.  V-Day was named one of Worth magazine’s “100 Best Charities” in 2001 and Marie Claire’s “Top 10 Charities” in 2006.  The “V” in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine, and Vagina.
