The Vagina Monologues, a 1996 play by V (formerly Eve Ensler), examines sexuality, sexual violence and reproduction through the lens of women from a variety of backgrounds, including those of cisgender, transgender and fluid/nonbinary identities. Productions of the play are staged yearly in a global campaign called V-Day with the goal of raising money for groups combating gender-based violence. The second annual Athens performances are sponsored by the University of Georgia School of Social Work and produced by The Cottage Sexual Assault Center & Children’s Advocacy Center. The play is directed by Tracy Brown, the Almost Home program coordinator at the Athens Area Homeless Shelter and former cast member of The Vagina Monologues, and the cast includes Michele Johnson, Ange Kahn and Katie Collins, among many others.
