VDAY Auditions!
VDAY
By Eve Ensler
Directed by Julie Jordan Scott
Sunday, February 3rd
11 AM - 2:30 PM
V-Day is a global movement to stop violence against women and girls. Special performances of the Vagina Monologues are used to help raise money to benefit female victims of violence and sexual abuse. In just ten years V-Day has raised over $50 million, 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 movement in the Middle East, reopened shelters, and funded over 5000 community-based anti-violence programs and safe houses in Kenya, South Dakota, Haiti, Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt and Iraq.
The Empty Space has participated since 2004, raising $10,000.00 for Kern County's own local Alliance Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault. This non-profit organization is committed to stopping domestic violence and sexual assault in Kern County and to assist those who have suffered from these crimes reclaim their lives. By being part of VDAY you are helping those in your community while learning about the brave women from around the world that are helping put an end to violence.
You can become involved in the movement by auditioning for The Empty Space's special VDAY production.
Auditions are on February 3rd from 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM at the Empty Space and will consist of cold readings from Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monolgues.
VDAY is not just for women. While only women are allowed to perform on stage, we need help! We have positions for Stage Manager, Sound Board Operator, Light Board Operator, Ushers, and people interesting in helping fundraise for the cause and promote the events. Simply reply to this email or contact event organizer, Guinevere PH Dethlefson at marketing@esonline.org.
Performances are on February 29 and March 1st.
Interested in becoming a sponsor, artist, vendor, or audience member for VDAY? Contact us as soon as possible to ensure your involvement.
The 'V' in V-Day stands for Victory, Valentine and Vagina.
