General admission tickets are $8 for faculty, staff and general public and $5 for students. Tickets will be available at the door or by calling (701) 238-7010.
V-Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. It was inspired by “The Vagina Monologues.” Ensler started the movement in the late 1990s. She says that women's reactions to the play launched V-Day. After seeing the play, women would line up to tell Ensler their personal experiences, most often of sexual violence.
V-Day NDSU, the group that has organized this event, invites the NDSU community and public to experience “The Vagina Monologues’” mystery, humor, pain, power, wisdom, outrage and excitement buried in women's experiences. A portion of the profits will be donated to the North Dakota Council on Abused Women’s Services.
Campus Attractions, Women's Studies and the Office for Equity, Diversity and Global Outreach are sponsoring the event.
