The Vagina Monologues will take place on Saturday, February 15, 2020 and Sunday, February 16, 2020 at 2 p.m. at the City of West Hollywood’s Council Chambers/Public Meeting Room at the West Hollywood Library, located at 625 N. San Vicente Boulevard. It will be performed by local grassroots activists and leaders, and will feature original material that spotlights the significant diversity of women’s voices and their stories. Twenty-two years ago, Eve Ensler's play The Vagina Monologues gave birth to [V-Day](https://hollywoodnow.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=aee472a0974025fbf4f8e0296&id=c061bb5ce4&e=86d7586319) bringing widespread attention to issues of harassment, rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation, and sex slavery. Every year around the world, The Vagina Monologues is performed by local activists to raise awareness and funds for organizations supporting women. To date, these events have raised more than $100 million for grassroots anti-violence groups and safe houses worldwide. The cast for this production includes The Honorable Abbe Land, Toni Sawyer, Connor Kelly-Eiding, Deshon Gray, The Honorable Lindsey Horvath, Myra ‘Mikie’ Friedman, Chela Demuir Cartier, Minzi, Zekiah Wright, Kristina Mitchell, Marie Cartier, Gia Ryan, Jackie Steele, Alexis Sanchez, and Melaney Noll Lubey. The production is directed by Shaina Rosenthal and produced by Karen Eyres and John Erickson. As part of the City of West Hollywood’s annual commemoration of V-Day, attendees will be encouraged to add their voices to the global effort to end violence against women via the hashtag #vday. Violence prevention and awareness information will also be available including the City’s Only Yes Means Yes public awareness campaign about sexual assault, which promotes the important message of consent. This event is endorsed by the City of West Hollywood’s Women’s Advisory Board, Transgender Advisory Board; Pacific Shore NOW; V-Day; and One Billion Rising - Los Angeles. Tickets are $15 and proceeds benefit Hollywood NOW and Planned Parenthood Los Angeles. Validated parking will be provided in the adjacent five-story West Hollywood Park structure.
